While the boss night battle is a crucial part of the map, just getting to the boss is a concern. In that aspect, DDs are likely to get you turned back. And when you do the math, CAs and high performance DDs do about the same amount of night battle damage. This depends largely on the ships being compared, of course, but for the most part they're about the same.

If you're going for a cut-in kill, a yukikaze flagship could possibly work, but Kitakami works better, even though she's a bigger gamble, damage-wise.

The 4 green planes, while not entirely necessary (if you're using Reppus of course) help reduce the preboss's pre-emptive strike, while allowing your own pre-emptive strike to do well. Also, Supremacy is better than Superiority for every other node. If you're going through the night battle node(s) then, I guess you could make do with 2 reppu, but I wouldn't recommend it.

As for which guns on a CLT, go with yellow guns. Specifically 15.5s. The greatest appeal of red guns is how they activate daytime double attack when used with a seaplane. Since CLTs can't use artillery spotting, anyway, either work for them, however 15.5s provide a noteable accuracy bonus.
