This trade-off (daytime power for nighttime power) is really up to the player to make. Both have their merits, and some have better experiences with one type than the other. This is why I break up the viable compositions for E-6 into three groups: heavy (BB oriented), medium ("good" CA(V) oriented), and light (CLT oriented).

I like the medium composition cause quite frankly, you're going to do jack all during the daytime to BB-hime. Plus, it's less resource intensive. With decent CA(V)s you can still clear out a good number of the trash before night battle. This has been my experience with the Tone sisters. There was almost nothing leading up to the boss node that a good CA(V) with a double attack couldn't sink, that a BB could, even the flagship Rus at the boss node.

BBs on the other hand can soak up damage... and that was pretty much their role for me (aside from clearing out trash). In night time double attacks, missing one of their double attacks was a regular occurrence with BBs while the CA(V)s landed theirs on a regular basis. Ultimately, I just couldn't see BBs performing well at night where things really counted.

It just seems that E-6 is very punishing to BBs, not because of the repair bills, but in terms of their performance. Easily shot to red, missing a ton, and performing badly at night. My CA(V)s on the other hand did much better job and managed to avoid a lot of hits.
