Although my reply is 9 hours late (yes I need to sleep) I also think CL,DD,DD,CLT,CLT,SS is a better composition. There is almost no reason why you would prefer a DD over another CLT. Both of your other 2 comps will not work becos you need at least 1 CL and a CLT is not equal to a CL.

I think for you to keep your SS for branching purposes, and for fleet 2 requirements you would NEED to have 2DD, 1CL, 1SS... no reason to take out that CLT. So basically your options are limited to switching that 3rd DD out for something else. It can be a FBB, or CA(V) or CLT. FBB gives more daytime dmg and can still attack at night. CA isnt that impressive to be honest. CAV lets it pretend to be a BB whilst retaining high night dmg. CLT will have the lowest daytime attack dmg but I find it invaluable given the opening torp strikes, closing torp strikes and the dmg in night battle can basically DA crit the boss for a total of 300+.
