My opinion will probably not reflect the majority, but anyway, by process of elimination:

1. BBV have the least firepower and are good mostly for branching requirement or extra seaplanes (ASW). In MI, your 2nd fleet is the one engaging the subs, and your other BB can carry the type zero obs seaplanes which make them on par with BBV in terms of LOS booster.

2. Slow BB are generally hard-hitters and best saved for E-6 (even now that fast BB can equip type-91 ammo, the impression that Nagato-class and Yamato-class are more powerful still remains - I think). Also, the combined fleet mechanic make battles in MI rely very little on the main guns of the 1st fleet - even at boss node.

3. You have more fast BB to choose from (5 vs 4 for the other class - not that everyone has Bismarck but for the sake of completeness).

Additionally, me and most likely many others setup their MI fleet according to the ships that were actually there. For me, the first fleet has to be the full 1st Carrier Division + 2 Kongou-class escort - IT HAS TO.

Last but not least, fast BB tends to be the favorites of most TTK!
