Lets look at stats b/w hagruo and choukai:

First if you plan to use CI setup (which is teh ulitmate go to option). Myoukou is the best, (assume no luck feed), she can hit cap of 300 FP+tropedo stats with 2 Qunit torpedo, freeing 2 space to carry night battle gear. While Choukai needs 2 as well (and luck feed from maryuu). Same goes for hagruo. Prinze Eguen doesnt need luck feed, but need 3 tropedo.

So yeah this way Myoukou is the best.

no CI setup, Day time battle is pretty much all about plain FP, She has 85 FP while Hagruo has 84. Choukai only has 80 evasion (this is assume at lvl 99 i think from Japn wiki). Hagruo has 84. Choukai has 78 armor while Haguro has 77. Same HP. Choukai has 2 more pt of tropedo and 2 more pt of AA.

Ok final thing, night battle double attack setup:

So it is tropedo+FP+2 20.3 no(3) lets assume:

Choukai has : 85+86+10+10 = 191. Double attack does 120%X2=229X2=458 damage (without considering enemy armor)

Hagruo has : 84+84+10+10=188. Double attack 120%X2= 225X2 = 451 damage.

Arlight Choukai wins by 7 damage.

So conlusion here:

Day time battle, Choukai has 1 FP advantage. 4 evasion disadvantage, 1 armor bonus.

Night battle DA setup: choukai does 7 more damage on paper to Hagruo.

Night battlte CI setup: Pretty mcuh same for Choukai/Hagruo/Myoukou (since they all hit cap with 2 tropedo). but Myoukou has more luck to start with.

I guess my question to you is, Do you think this is worth a BP?

Equipment:

20.3 no2 you know this is not needed. You have a lot already.

spotlight, same as above. you should have plenty, and you will use 1 maximum anyway.

Skill lookout, ok this thing plus about 5% of CI rate, which is not bad, but who to carry it?

DD? come on, DD need all 3 slot to hit even close to cap. CL? (same problem as DD, you not planning to CI with Ooyodoo right?)

BB? impossible, BB CI is a terriable choice.

So we are looking at CA only. But problem is we usually use only 2 CA in comined fleet (without CLT, with CLT, we only use 1) We just dont have the slot to carry skil lookout.

Assume both DD use triple tropedo. BB use double cannon + 91 ap + plane. CL use Plane + double cannon. Or ABKM use midget sub + 2 tropedo or 2 cannon.

We still need people to carry spot light and star shell. We just cant fit Skill look out in.

And how many CA you have that can CI? pretty much only Myoukou is close. You need to luck feed nearly everyone other one to even have a chance to CI. Even myoukou only has 30 luck which is not reliable.

Radar: 22 Kai 4 is not useless. I never said that.

I said it is not very useful (thats a pretty big difference) Again in combined fleet no one has space to use Radar.

BB doesnt CV doesnt, CL doesnt, DD doesnt. So we are stuck with CA again. and i already went through how CA doesnt have space really anyway on top.

Having a few good radar is good, but we are not desperate for that Kai 4

in the end I m not saying Choukai is never BP worthy. She is just not high on my list.

If you ask me my order of BP right now is: (of course you can exchange ship of same class)

Tone > Fusou > Shokaku > ABKM > Zuikaku > Chikuma > Yamashiro > Unryuu > Chokai > Roma > Itlia > everyone else.

BSM jump the queue.

I dont want to argue with anyone, Just trying to go through my reasoning and shine some light on this topic.

Hope i didnt offend anyone.
