Some statistics for the sub route (6 lv99 SS/SSV, probably not the best comp). Retreat rate: 13%, boss S rank: 15%, A rank: 28%, B rank: 43%, C rank: 1%; B rank at I: ~30% (close to 1/3); final form at the boss (automatic B rank): ~30% (also 1/3); night battles at the boss: 40%; resources per run (including retreats): 60 fuel, 115 ammo, 6 steel, 0.8 buckets (can be better); experience per run (including retreats): 2673 or ~1.87 points.

The problem with subs is that you need to rotate them (so you need pages of extra subs), or rotate with surface fleets. For 2500 surface fleet can eat 50k+ fuel and steel, up to 100k bauxite, over 100k ammo, and up to 1k buckets, so you want to use subs at least partially, to reduce ammo and bauxite cost (mainly bauxite).

2500 may be a bit too much for top 500 though:



it was 2300 on Saiki in March (dunno if it's an all-time maximum), extrapolated to 2350-2340 for the last day. And here is the current picture:
