Ahead for S-ranking everything but subs.

Abreast against subs or in 5-3 or similar maps in the future (yes, they still 1shot everything even with abreast).

Diamond if you know you gonna face a lot of CVs and you don't want to accidentally red someone (4-4 preboss is the best example of this) or then your fleet's AA is awfully bad (usually last problem goes away after fleet of 20~25 lvl or so).

Double if you want to S a fleet with a single sub, like, a boss in 4-3, but you can't ahead to kill a sub, abreast will left too much enemies to the night and diamond has very low accuracy at night (nobody mentioned it at this page). So you should take asw equip on 2+ ships and go double line. Other choise is 3-2 preboss (I prefer double over abreast since the chance of sinking enemy DDs or even CLs always went better for me).

Echelon - just no.

Also, just a friendly advice. Make some CLTs (Kitakami kai, Ooi kai, Kiso kai2) and equip them with type-a. They'll perform much better than common Bb/CAs, especially if maxed / on higher levels and your resource consumption will be much more enjoyable.
