HQ Level - Given your present fleet, I would say stick with Easy Mode.

Ship Training - My suggestion is to get as many of the *historical* ships as high a level as possible. You can find the list of historical ships for the newest event here: http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:621228#Historical_Ships_Preparation

On a somewhat related note, Musashi has a boosted drop-rate in LSC if you don't already have her, so given your level and such, now would probably be the best time to try and get her. Recipie: 6k\7k\7k\2k\20 dev mats
