That depends on you. I think the mentality should be not about is equipment X or Y worth it or not. Many players might choose to disagree.

My suggestion is always - if (1) you have stockpiles enough resources and buckets, (2) have trained an in depth, well levelled (80+) fleet that can withstand ship locking, and (3) you are a patient, and calm person regardless of how badly things go. Then always do hard mode for all maps, all events.

The reason is that while one or two maps' worth of hard rewards seems small and not worth it. I have been doing hard mode since difficulty selection was implemented, now after clearing 8 hard events. I have no problems with LBAS defence - I use 3x raidens and 1x Hien 244th air group they are enough for basic air defence while 2 LBAS go around bombing. I have 11 LBAS bombers to choose from. I have a substantial amount of rare equipment that I did not have to spend screws to improve and upgrade to get. 1 or 2 events you might not see it, but after 4 or 5 events of doing hard continually, your tactical options increase significantly.

Saratoga doesn't need a catapult for her kai upgrade. However, what if they introduce Shinano, Ark Royale or Enterprise in future and she requires a catapult? Will you regret it then? Maybe yes, maybe no.

That is why I say - it depends on you.
