Depends on the type of enemies you'll be facing, as any CV(L) setup.

If there's no enemy carriers (thus no enemy air power), it's OK to load her full of bombers. Smallest slot is generally a Saiun (avoids Red T) or a 15.5cm yellow gun (makes her shell earlier on 1st shelling round, improves accuracy and firepower) or a red plane. Against submarines, load your CVL (CV can't attack subs) with bombers with the most ASW stat, with a Saiun in the smallest slot.

If there are enemy carriers, you'll probably want to use CV instead of CVL, mostly due to plane count, and load enough green planes to achieve at least air superiority with the rest of the slots loaded with either blue planes for strong opening airstrike or a mix of blue + red planes.
