Not sure if you understand the game, if you think that Isuzu is a better ASW ship than Ooyodo. Ooyodo can out perform Isuzu in ASW WITHOUT being stuffed full of ASW gear.

First, let's assume that Both Ooyodo and Isuzu are level 99, and you have the best ASW gear.

Let's say you go for an offensive (night battle)/ASW mix that includes two 15.5 yellow guns. Isuzu will have one slot left for ASW gear. Let's say you equip her with a Type 3 Sonar for the final slot. Isuzu will effectively have a value of 54 ASW. Now let's look at Ooyodo. After equiping her with two 15.5 yellow guns, she will have two slots left. Let's say we equip her with a Type 3 Sonar and a Type 3 depth charge on the remaining 2 slots. She will have a value of 63 ASW, plus the hidden boost that comes with using a sonar and depth charge together, which makes a huge difference.

Ooyodo would do much more ASW damage, and Isuzu would do less ASW damage, but higher night battle damage.

Daytime battle/ASW mix scenario? Give Isuzu 2x 15.5s (or 20.3s) and a Type 3 Sonar. Again, a value of 54. And for Ooyodo, give her 2x 20.3s, a type 0 Observation seaplane, and a Type 3 Sonar. Ooyodo would have a value of 59.

In this scenario, Ooyodo would pull ahead by a decent, but not great margin in ASW damage, and out-damage Isuzu in daytime damage, assuming you secure aerial superiority. Isuzu would still do better during a night battle though.

I'm not sure why you believe that Yuubari is better by Ooyodo be a large margin, either. In the 2x 15.5 scenario Yuubari only pulls ahead by 2 more points of ASW value. In an all out ASW set-up, Yuubari is still only 2 points ahead of Ooyodo, however those 2 points are irreleveant in an all out ASW set-up due to the ASW cap.

So, to summarize what I'm saying, Ooyodo and Yuubari are pretty much equal in ASW capabilities, and Ooyodo will always outperform Isuzu in ASW if she's using a set-up to mirror Isuzu. I recommend you go to the combat page and look at the formulas so that you see I'm not pulling numbers out of nowhere.
