The rule for modifiers says that modifiers that 'set' a stat value are applied last, but doesn't say how to apply them or in what order.

I believe you could use the precedent set in the necron faq
"Q; If a model with whip coils is in base contact with a model with an Initiative-boosting rule/piece of wargear (e.g. an Eldar banshee Mask ect.), which order are the initiatives modified? (p44)
A; as a 'set value modifier' the Whip Coils effect is applied after all other modifiers. If the model is effected by another set value modifier, roll off to see which is applied first at the start of each Fight sub-phase.

This would in effect give each banshee a 50% chance each turn of hitting at I1 or I10 with a power axe.
