You'll only miss on some fun, ego boost and on medals - if you have some high level ships around and at least around 25k resources in everything (except bauxite), I'd just go with harder difficulties in your case, even if it is just for an ego boost and fun. However, if your ship girls are low level (<70) and you don't have top-tier equipment, it may be better to go for easier difficulties.

I personally used quick response fleet in E-3 Hard, and did well with it, but it is not necessarily the better choice - it may result in an early retreat on node C(or E, don't remeber which one was a combat node) by enemy torpedoes. Definitely use the green option in E-5, the first node's CL Oni will destroy your second fleet with her torpedoes if you go with Quick Response fleet.
