What hooks you use depend on what you're trying to do.

I don't know about hook resources, but these three lines in
wp-blog-header.php give a good overall picture of what's happening:

|   require_once( dirname(__FILE__) . '/wp-load.php' );
|   wp();
|   require_once( ABSPATH . WPINC . '/template-loader.php' );

wp-load.php loads all the WordPress functionality.
wp() parses the current query.
template-loader.php decides which template file to include.
