Considering that combined cost of LBAS and carrier fleet is extremely heavy, it's dangerous to stick at 10k bauxite. Runs can easily reach 1100 bauxite per run on higher end difficulties, so even on easy the drain is high. If the devs decide to introduce a boss with high AA stats or AACI (due to new Akizuki ship) your bauxite will suffer greatly. Better to be safe than sorry.

For bucket count, easy to do quests give around 10 buckets per day +  exp 2. This is good enough for perhaps quickly repairing single fleets, but will be harder to do for combined fleets. The amount of buckets used highly depends on the abilities and levels of your fleet. Again, better to be safe than sorry. If you run out of insta-repair buckets you risk having 6hr+ CV and BB repair times (if low level), which means you either sleep or wait the time until you can sortie.

Fuel and ammo are fine at 20k, though it's recommended to reach 25k or whatever your resource cap is. Steel doesn't matter too much if you are actively running exp 37 and 38.
