I gear my carriers on a case by case basis and keep them unequipped of planes for the most part. Exceptions being 3-2A carrier de jour and expedition carriers.

My typical routine:  I pull up the wiki and calculate a desired AS for route I'll be taking, pull up the air superiority calculator, decide which carriers I want to use, play with the plane setups to maximize slot efficiency, gear up and go. When I'm done the planes go off.
