Kazami Yuuka's mentioned a couple times in the comments that for farming the first node only, 1SS 5DD is highly efficient.

"For E-3-A, I'd suggest 1x SS 5x DD, pretty much as cheap as you can go, your DDs better be mid-high level though, Line Ahead and sink everything at night. That's the fleet I used anyway, 18 Fuel, 40-42 Ammo and 1 Bucket per run on average."

There's no really efficient way of farming the E-3 boss that I know of. Most people suggest 1BB, 2CV, 3CLT. I'm running 1BB, 2CV, 2CLT, Iona. It's more resource-heavy, but my CLTs don't get blasted as often.
