I obtained Shoukaku-class carriers last after the Summer Event (I was a coward on facing worlds 5 and 6 on that moment) so I mostly relied on the First and Second Carrier divisions, Aquila became one of my main options when I got her since her equipmet with firepower allows for good opening strikes and air superiority without high expenses on easier maps. Regarding Abukuma and Tone-class they aren't even part of my fleet and I've done well without them.

Just figure out what ships attend your needs, Abukuma is a key ship due to her being a CL with midget sub carrying capabilites, the cranes are high priority due to the rewards from their quests such as Iwamoto and Iwai squads and the Kikka Kai as the have high AA stats and as armored carriers they serve well if you don't have Taihou.

But again if that's not the way you judge your priorities, its fine your the admiral. The list is just a recommendation, it's not that if you don't follow it you won't make progress.
