I consider sparkling a last resort. When E-2 wiped the floor with me with persistent night battles, then it was worth the half hour of sparkling to clear it.

But I've had a few too many missions where someone got critted to red on the first node with a fully sparkled fleet, so it hardly feels like a universal necessity.
