Typical advice is to go backwards in the chain for powering off.

Amps then pre then...and so on.

I don't think it makes a bit of difference when powering down, but I'd personally turn OFF each piece of equipment first, then unplug everything. From past experience, most of my equipment failures have all taken place when turning ON equipment. 

I can report that sometimes it DOES make a difference. I have at least one piece that blows its fuse  if not powered down first.
