In general, players should field the least amount of air power necessary to achieve air superiority or air supremacy at target nodes. It's important to have a razor thin buffer, so remaining slots can be crammed with much utility as possible.

If your buffer is high enough, I recommend using elite fighters with less AA such as the Type 21 skilled over Reppuu so a carrier receives additional accuracy and evasion.

However, if using a Reppuu over the Type 21 skilled means being able to cram a piece of utility, you should choose the Reppuu over the weaker elite fighter.

Each case will be different, and it's equally important to have both. Calculate your air power before sortieing to get the most out of your fighters. Plane composition and arrangement can affect the opening air strike damage and critical rates, the ability for ships to reach softcap, shelling order, shelling target restrictions, and a lot more. Play with your fighter settings, and tailor plane composition and arrangement for each fight.
