"If their [4-slotters] fully equiped ASW end up lower than, say, Isuzu's ASW, it's probably better to just completely ignore it."

That's not true at all. Take a look at the ASW damage formula:

(2  ×  √(Ship ASW) + 1.5  ×  Equipment ASW + ASW Upgrades + Type)  ×  Bonus

In order for a 3-slots ship to beat a 4-slots in ASW, it needs to have 49 more base ASW (assuming an extra T93 sonar); anything lower and the damage value will be equal or worse. It's best to read the relevant pages before offering advice or you might end up doing more harm than good.
