For the final clear, tried North route with 2BB/3CA/1CV about 10 times, got 6 C/D ranks. Switched over to 5BB/1CV south route cleared it on first try.

I think south route is the way to go, despite the night node, which honestly isn't that bad, for a couple of reasons:

1. Only 2 preboss battle so no fuel/ammo penalty and obviously much tankier and more firepower.

3. For the north route, 2 of the preboss nodes have chances of double line Ta flag, which usually means red or at the very least orange if your CA gets hit. But for the final clear, orange means it probably won't be able to sink any ships, and will very likely get hit to red by a clam or the Ne elite, so your chances of sinking Hime in night is very low.

4. For south route, the second pre-boss node is always Diamond, so there's almost no way you'll get taiha.

5. For the night node, you basically get a free pass if no cut-ins are triggered, and your BB's can survive cut-ins with orange. Also, even if you get taiha'd, it's only the first node, so you can just retreat without much losses, which is way better than having to retreat after the third node if you go north.
