For E-5H Shoukaku, Zuikaku and one other decent CV(L) is enough. You can depend on CarDiv 5 to do more work. The last CV can pull her own weight by being fighter heavy. This means CV with poorer plane slot counts are less ideal (e.g. Aquila, Graf Zeppelin) but even CVL like Ryuujou can be useful (small slot can carry Saiun and her 2 big slots are comparable to CV medium slots)

I wouldn't worry about slow speed too much. In E-5, most players will be using Nagato, Sakawa and Prinz Eugen to do more damage. If you plan on using Nagato (since she is the most common of the three), then she will slow your fleet down, so you can go ahead and use a slow CVL with good plane slots like Junyou.

My experience was that even with Prinz Eugen locked out in E-3 (I cleared E1-E3 hard on the first day before E4 and E5 were released), Sakawa and Nagato were more than enough for E-5 hard.

So, if you want a fast fleet. Make sure you have high level (about level 80+, 90+ preferable) Sakawa and Prinz Eugen.
