3-5 is resource friendly if you only count fuel, ammo and steel used each run. However, even with lv70+ CLs and DDs, nearly 4 in 5 runs are forced retreats because one or more get blasted by something, either a closing torpedo or a lucky double attack - so if anything, you may be saving on primary resources, but you're burning through buckets. Resource consumption is a little higher if you take the time to sparkle, as well, which imo is still very hit-and-miss on its effectiveness.

3-3 however is generally more consistent for me after these tests, and I'm either breaking-even on resources due to my expeditions pulling in 700-1000 fuel and ammo every 3hr if I'm trying to speed through it, or I'm actually gaining resources if I'm taking it really slow and doing a run or two a night before I log off. The CA 2CVL 3SS composition, while reliant on a little bit of luck, is really low in most resource usage aside from bauxite which is negligible.

Again, YMMV. It's just what I've tried, and have been happy with the results so far. (Those +3 screws are like gold dust when you're farming for a pile of Type 91/94 AAFDs.) :3
