If going south route sparkle your ships since it is cheap and you'll need the evasion. If you stick two seaplanes on your CL you should have enough LoS to not need radars on the DD (I use turbines).

Line ahead is fine for first node. Second node I do line abreast and placebo or not, it keeps my ships alive pretty well. You won't do any damage to the CAs in line ahead anyways unless you get green tea.

Or you can try the more patient CA 1-2 CL 1-2 rest DD route which isn't guaranteed south but gives you more firepower. I haven't tried it personally though as I only do CL + 5 DD.
