I would put automated regression testing right up there with automated build and deployment. It also has the advantage that it is something you can work on incrementally.

Unit testing should be first, start with manually always running it locally (or on every checkout/checkin) and then get the rest of the team to buy into automated regression testing. There really do exist devs who are afraid of running tests constantly for some reason.
