What would be the correct order of connecting these devices to the battery bank and to which terminal?
+ side: fuse only
- side: disconnect switch, smartshunt, smart batteryprotect ?

Cut off switch goes on the hot (positive) side. Otherwise the electrical current could flow if there was an alternative ground for any reason.
The battery isolator/disconnect switch is normally on the +ve. Fuse first then switch.
If you switch the negative the shunt will loose SOC. So on the -ve shunt then loads (battery protect).
Battery protect is uni directional so put charging sources on the shunt as well.
So
+ side: Fuse, Smart Battery protect, Disconnect switch
- side Shunt
