I faced the same problem when I was planning my fleets, except I had 2 Abukuma kai ni. Funny thing is, I ended up not using her until E-6H, so I ended up with a spare one. I eventually locked her at E-3 (replacing Yahagi), because her ko-hyoteki makes farming safer.

Since you're only deciding between two locks, I would highly recommend locking her to E-2 and E-3. Out of the first four maps, E-2 is the most annoying map when it comes to pre-boss nodes, so you will want to use Abukuma's ko-hyoteki.
