Noise Reduction/Deinterlacing/Upscaling advice

Noise reduction isn't my strong suit. Here's what I want to do: Take this NTSC DV footage, reduce noise and deinterlace it, scale to 1280x960, then crop to 16:9 1280x720. The reason is, this is an alternate camera to be cut with 30p HD footage.

I thought it wise to ask for help because of the multiple things going on here, and problems that can result if filtering is not done in the proper order. So far, I've come up with this strategy to be done in this order: 1. Denoising (like FFT3DFilter with interlaced=true) 2. Deinterlacing (Yadif perhaps?) 3. Resizing (Spline36?) 4. Cropping last. Does that sound right? I know the HD camera will still put this footage to shame, but I've seen some folks here do things that make me feel like a chimpanzee in calculus class, so please let me know if you have better ideas.
