Long time player and GM of the deadlands classic system, I'll share what I can. One thing to note is that combat can often end up with too many steps involved to let it flow smoothly. It's up to you how many steps you include, but generally I prefer to only apply stun rules to thematically appropriate attacks (such as a lightning gun) since rolling for it after every attack slows things down considerably. I highly recommend the splat books for each of the arcane backgrounds if you plan on using them. Without the variety those offer things can get boring for them.

(possible exception for mad scientists, but their splat book just makes things much easier for the Marshall, since it gives a much more comprehensive guide to what difficulty certain inventions would have.) More of a player thing than a Marshall thing, but it's a very good idea to inform people how important quickness is. A lot of people will see that shooting is a deftness skill and assume that the best gun fighter needs the best deftness.
While deftness is certainly useful, it's not going to be much help if you're stuck with average quickness and are limited to a single action per round. There's a reason 'the quickest hand in the west' trumps 'the best shot in the west'. I pick up almost all of my deadlands book in pdf form on Drive-thru rpg. I know some people are a little adverse to PDF's but trust me that trying to find physical copies of an rpg more than a decade out of date is far more hassle than just bringing your laptop to the table.
(plus they're pretty cheap on the site) I'm actually not the biggest fan of the adventure modules, and have only played a couple of them when I didn't have any ideas of my own. Some of them have the issue of sidelining the players while the writers go on a little spiel about how badass their villains are. (It doesn't help that the classic books avoid all mention of stat-blocks for their most important villains, since paraphrased from their words 'If we give it stats your players will kill it and it will ruin our metaplot.'
The metaplot is one of the less interesting aspects of the setting for me. Though I do enjoy how it took the setting to new eras (Hell on Earth is quite enjoyable, and I'm a sucker for Noir (and have been working quite a bit to convert their reloaded rules to something a little more classic)) It's especially problematic in the baseline setting though, since many of their villains and interesting story elements have been getting killed off or ending. (Examples include Grimme's death and the end of the rail wars during the Flood adventure in reloaded.) Because of all of this I'm afraid I'm not aware of any order the modules should be played in. I do know that one of their biggest was the devil's tower three parter: The Road to Hell, Heart o' Darkness, and Fortress o' Fear.
Beyond that I'm unclear, though I believe that there are a couple after the three parter (not directly though) known as Reign of Terror and Dead Presidents. If you're set on using the modules, god speed to you. But personally I'd just stick with home-made adventures.
The setting books are particularly helpful for this (such as the Great Maze, City O' Gloom, and River O' Blood) since they give a fairly in depth look at a region that gives some great ideas of where to go from there. Beyond that you should watch a few Westerns and I'm sure you can get some ideas flowing. I think I just enjoy the idea of the Four Horsemen popping up in HoE, and I wanted to introduce the characters like Stone and Grimme to the party beforehand. I've been looking at the Devil's Tower module set, and I think that'll be the one I run first, to get a grip on the system, before making my own adventures. I'll try and limit the party of likely 5 to two casters so combat doesn't get too bogged down.Well I can certainly emphasize with that, like I said I'm a big fan of Hell on Earth, and I have no problem if you want to run your game where that's an inevitable result in the world.
