Should I stack using the crop (with autolevels applied) or should I stack using the original unedited subframes and edit later?

I don't know if it matters; I would stack unedited frames.

The important thing is to export the images from your raw converter as 16 bit tiffs, then process further, starting with stacking in DSS.

Do not convert to TIF before stacking as that destroys the linearity of your stack.  DSS has it's own built in RAW converter, there is no need to convert to a larger file TIF before stacking.
