Generally speaking, there's very little variation in how to equip shipgirls, unless you're fighting specific enemies. The main part of the "strategy" involves using certain compositions of shipgirls that will allow a fleet to reach the boss. The equipment comes second, and usually maintains a single purpose, just with different levels of effectiveness based on whether it's starter equipment or rare equipment that you develop. Finally, this game is heavily RNG-based, so luck is generally the only factor that holds back admirals from certain victory.

tl;dr It's mostly luck. Equipping shipgirls is straightforward.
