Am not exactly an expert but i'll suggest some things according to what i did to prepare for my 1st event. I'm not sure if Stremespoats or the other guys here will agree though.

DD - Shimakaze & Yuudachi are good choices, continue with them. Train Yukikaze up since her luck is the highest in the game and her final remodel level is only 20. Her cut-ins can save the day and net you boss kills. Shigure kai2 can also act as your high luck cut-in ship and her remodel level is not so high (lv 60).

CL - Continue training Sendai to her kai2 for her night battle package. She has good offensive stats too. Naka kai2 has above average stats so if you urgently need a good CL she will do for now. Alternatively you can train Kuma / Nagara / Natori because they have comparable offensive stats but much lower final remodel levels (lv 20).

Isuzu kai2 is usually not worthwhile in the long run since she can't carry planes unlike the rest. I personally didn't bother with Isuzu kai2. Yuubari is too frail for most cases so don't bother with her for now.

Jintsuu has the best offensive stats & best CL overall but if you lack time then work on her after Fall event. By Winter she should be ready

CA: If you urgently need good CAs then Takao & Atago will be good enough, since they have pretty good stats and their final remodel level is only lv 25. The Myoukou class CAs have the best stats but I do understand that getting ships to lvl 65 (or 70 for Myoukou's case) may be difficult for a newbie. Try to get at least 1 Myoukou class CA up to kai2 by Fall event though. By Winter 2015 you should have 3-4 myoukou class girls at kai2.

BB - Wow Nagato + Mutsu at HQ 43, did you get lucky with construction? I only got those 2 at HQ 100 during Summer Event through drops. I would think that BBs are the most important to level so try to get 4 of them to lv 50+ as first priority. Nagato, Mutsu, Kongou, Kirishima as your core BB fleet should be fine.

CVL: Use them as support ships for 3-2A grind, the levels will come naturally. Concentrate on Junyou, Chitose & Chiyoda.

CV: Concentrating on Shoukaku + Akagi should be ok. If you get Kaga please level her up, her plane capacity is too good to miss.

As for equipment...I think some others will have better ideas. I got my first Reppuus from developing for daily development quests.
