I almost never clear Bw4 personally, but when I did so last month, I found DD/CL grinding at 4-3 a good way to complete the quest. The trick is to continue your sortie whenever you end up at the southern enemy SS node: there is a fair chance to be sent to the fuel whirlpool node, which is actually a good thing, as after that there is a dead end battle with 3 transport ships. In addition to the lone transport ships you'll end up seeing occasionally at the ordinary enemy SS nodes, there is a decent amount of enemy transport ships to be seen in the map.

I don't know if 4-3 is any faster than 2-3, but the bonus is you can grind a DD/CL while at it, which is a huge bonus in my mind. It is also a lot more interesting than just plain Orel only. The downside is that you'll definitely lose some buckets at 4-3, whether by node J (one of the starting nodes), node G (the node where you'll end up if you don't get to the whirlpool node) or the transport node itself (one of the compositions is kind of threatening). At maximum, you can get 5 Transport kills in a single sortie in 4-3.

4-2 With a team of 6 SS(V) is also an option I have tried. It is somewhat dangerous for though, and there is only one node with transports in it. However, it is an enjoyable change to just plain Orel though, and you can farm steel in the map.
