3-2 in flagship position, don't care about MvP. Just let the big guns kill while Shigure chills.

4-1 doesn't have pure SS node (only one pattern), so it's just like 3-2 except two nodes instead of one. Do equip Shigure with ASW, though.

4-3 is good (but also kind of expensive) way to level a DD to high level.

1-5 three nodes in, as mentioned above, is pretty good.

What I like lately is a 1-5 first node leveling consisting of the DD that I leveled along with 5 cannon fodders in my 4-3 leveling downtime. This way I could get about 2500 or so EXP while waiting for fatigue to recover (I don't really like switching my 4-3 leveling fleet, so...).
