This is a bit late but:

In your case, I'd actually recommend leveling DD at 1-5 - go with a composition of 4 DD and always retreat after the first 3 battles. You won't gain too much HQ exp as long as you don't go to the boss (there is a hidden bonus HQ exp for defeating boss nodes) and 4 DD will be quite effective on the first 3 nodes.

The pros in 1-5 grinding are that you are not limited to 1 DD at a time only, like in 4-3 and can instead use a total of 4 DD. It is also quite a cheap grinding method and as you are under HQ lvl 80, you won't meet the nuclear sub known to knock out even BBV out of action at times.
