Myself, I usually use Yuubari (as flagship for extra protection), but any CL with good ASW and OASW setup will do. Her only role is to kill that damn sub (and ocasionally the one in A node). The rest carry setup built around seaplane fighters and Zuiuns: 1BB (usually Mutsu, because cheaper, but any Nagato or Yamato class will do) and 2 CAVs with 2x gun, 1x recon, 1x seaplane fighter and Fusou sisters with 2x gun, 1x AP shell and 1x Zuiun12.

With 5 double chevroned planes you'll get AS/AS+ in every node, so you prevent enemy from artillery spotting you, while your girls can whack them silly (including 2 with AP shells for instakilling Rus). Full OASW CL should sink sub before action begins. In case she fails (for example gets taiha by opening airstrike), there are Zuiuns for extra chance. Just remember to use double line rather than line ahead, at least in nodes with subs.

The only problem with that setup is ocassionally being routed east - just reload in that case, it's not advised to fight there, as there are strong CVs that can overwhelm your planes.
