This is just for me, but I personally only gain about 50-100 buckets a month when aiming for top 500; I'm hovering around 700 now, so I feel like it's a good enough rate for looming events. My routine is to do all dailies/weeklies, 1-5/2-5/5-5 every month, and I do 5-4 a couple times per day, depending on luck with taking damage. Since you can use Akashi to repair ships, I generally just rotate ships constantly if they get to yellow. It helps if you have lots of ships to rotate; if you have a lot of useable girls in the same class, you'll probably only use a bucket or two per day on a super unlucky crit while just repairing most of your orange/yellow girls while asleep/at work. I personally have every Kai2 and all BBs/CVs around 50~90+, so for grinding dalies/weeklies, I can generally get quite a bit done without having to use a buckets to get someone back into the action.

By staying under the limit, you also don't get as pressured to efficiently accomplish quests, which leads to more overall experience for your fleet and less buckets used, and for me, a lot less stress when someone takes red damage.
