High-level dive bombers (reds) provide slightly superior Carrier Shelling bonuses than comparable Torpedo Bombers (since they're multiplied by 2 but tend to have lower damage stats), so I feel that they're better to put in smaller slots to supplement your shelling damage (since Shelling damage isn't based on planes in slot).

Like the others, I agree Torpedo Bombers are better for bigger slots hoping for a good roll to blow an important enenmy out of the water at the start of the engagement.
