It imho comes down to your total FP versus FP needed for the sortie ... if you can achieve the same AS level through the map after replacing Reppus with SK2s, then the latter are superior due to giving carriers a small bit more of survivability. Or you can mix it up (if able to fulfill the aforementioned condition), give SK2s to lower levelled or more fragile carriers while Reppus to more resilient ones.

(if you don't have a LBAS fighter then Reppu's +1 AA and mainly +2 range gives it a clear edge over SK2 for that usage)
