There are some places with better HQ XP gain, but all of them take heavier toll on res/buckets (like 2-5, 3-5, 4-4 or even 6-5). With good optimized fleet 7-1 probably still does alright, but it isn't that much better with surface node eating buckets. On the other hand there's always 1-5 w/ CVE+3 kaibokans that cost nothing and risk nothing, but is somewhat slower.

Then there's 7-2 phase 2, but red Tsus make it debatable choice. Returns are good, but until good compo that S-rank consistently without bad plane losses is found, I'd rather stay clear.

Here's quick and dirty HQ XP comparison table I made for my own use:

yeah  really slow now.......
