Upgrading is a long topic because the levels to which to upgrade depend on what ships you're equipping them on, so I'll just dump my guide link here instead. Just to be clear, never upgrade 35.6 MAX* to proto-35.6s, and don't upgrade Searchlight MAX* to the T96 Searchlight.

As for your specific situation, scrap the 14cms, and use only 15.2 and 15.5 primaries on CLs. Only use 20.3 variants on CAs. Don't equip overweight guns on Kongou-classes. Don't equip the Italian guns on non-Italian BBs.
