BP usage: Since you already have Abukuma Kai2 you can use your BP on either Tone-class or Fusou-class kai2s. The difference in performance of these kai2s compared to others in their class is more significant compared to the other BP candidates. If you lack CA(V)s go for Tone-class, if you lack the Nagato-class go for Fusou-class.

LSC: IMO you should spend the resources on training more girls to kai2 to counter ship-locking, and get your main fleet girls to higher levels. LSC ships are more of a luxury than a necessity. I only started LSC-ing at HQ106 after I had an established fleet of lv80+ kai2 ships.

Misc: You should try 3-5 and 4-5, with your HQ level your fleet should be able to do it unless you neglected your BBs for some reason. This will give you a guaranteed 1 blueprint per month. 3-5 South route works better for me but if you don't feel confident with your DDs then feel free to use the North Route. I personally recommend 3CA 3CV for 3-5 North Route. Although Satsuki Kai2 is really cute, she still has lackluster stats (except for AA, but Kasumi Kai2 & Fubuki Kai2 can serve your AA needs similarly, while having much better night battle firepower). So if you want an easier time on 3-5 south route, try to get more kai2 DDs & get them to at least lv70+. Don't worry about leaving Shoukaku & Zuikaku in their CVB forms, their CVB forms are arguably superior since they can attack in moderate damage, which is useful to clear trash especially given their high base firepower.
