Effects loop or direct for pedals

If I want to add a reverb and delay pedal to my HT-5 rig, should I run them through the FX loop or can I run them before the guitar input. I want something like this:

GTR -> OD/DIST -> DELAY / REV -> HT-5

Or should I pull out the DELAY and REV into the FX loop?

Does it even matter?

Update: Sorry, I didn't search first. I found a nice answer here :
