It's highly recommended you take a ship that forces routing from Node A to Node C in order to avoid the maelstrom node (using Akashi or Katori in the 1st fleet, or a submarine in the 2nd fleet). That extra fuel for the preboss and boss nodes will count greatly towards your fleet's evasion.

Also, depending on the BBs you're using (Kongou-class, Nagato-class, Fusou-class, Yamato-class), you could use AP for better penetration, but your guns have to be light enough to avoid weight penalties and carry accuracy bonuses. For Yamato-class, I'd actually recommend radars since they're already strong enough to faceroll anything that isn't a BB Hime/Water Oni.
