I crop first, do any other editing, and resize next-to-last. Last step is sharpening.

Like number six says. If you crop right at the start, then you have an accurate "target" for all your adjustments.

There are cases where you might want to take different approaches with different crops, so make sure you keep the original image intact. In fact, if you use Lightroom, you have the option of creating a Virtual Copy so that you can go in different directions with your image at will.
