Ships worth leveling: Michishio, Isuzu, Gangut, Richilieu to Kai, Taihou, Taiyou (ASW CVL OP), Mizuho, and Commandant Teste.

Equipment: The only urgent need I can see would be seaplane fighters, though I'm not known for being good at saying what equipment is needed.

Other then that, get your resources up. FAST. I have generally the same plan as you and I intend to get at least 100k of everything besides bauxite, which I intend to get to at least 60k. Your buckets should be fine if you either stockpile them a bit or use them somewhat sparingly.
