Do you sparkle your fleet before expeditions? It still doesn't guarantee getting buckets (for expeditions that reward them), but it gives a good chance nonetheless. Plus, 50% more resources is always good. Tho, I personally do not sparkle my fleet for every expeditions. Only long ones ( >2 hours).

Back in event days, I always do expeditions 13 and 14 for decent resource gain + buckets - with sparklefleets, of course. The third expedition varied depending on what I need most. If it's fuel, expt. 9 (because it also gives buckets); expt. 18 for steel (and buckets, yay!)

Thanks to the event, I now maintains a habit to have reserves of sparkling DDs.
