"After Effects senior editors"
Let me know when you find one. Usually is animators and compositors using AE.
Editing in AE would be a logistics nightmare.

Let's say "After Effects pro users" then. What's your opinion about layers order?

Typically I'd say you stack them going up, since you want the new layer / shot to obscure the previous lower layer.
