Hatsushimo. That's not just because of my extremely obvious bias; sortie-wise right now a high-Luck destroyer will be much more valuable than Fubuki, who very similar stats to Hatsushimo, but without the same usefulness in yasen. Unless you are really devoted to Fubuki and have over two dozen Maruyu Kai waiting for her, she won't be outperforming her Hatsuharu-class competition any time soon. Due to her low luck, Fubuki is locked to the less-destructive double attack set-up for the day, and unlike Yuudachi and Ayanami whose daytime combat stats justify their usage (and to a lesser degree, Verniy, Ushio and Akizuki for the purpose of making it through the map safely), she doesn't have much to show for it, either.

For events, especially with a navy that's still coming together, destroyers capable of reliably doing cut-ins at night will make the difference on a lot of boss nodes -- there is a reason that Hatsushimo (as well as her fellow treaty DD Shigure and the ever-overpowered Yukikaze) was often seen on example fleet compositions for Winter 2015 maps, especially the likes of E-4 and E-5 where the greatest struggle was often doing enough damage to the boss to score an S-Rank victory.
