While Saratoga and Zuikaku ARE good carriers, they require both blueprints and catapults to get them to their peak power, things which you will not have for a LONG time, even if you rush them. I would suggest leveling Souryuu and Kaga first before leveling Saratoga and Zuikaku, Souryuu being able to get a very good Kai Ni without needing anything extra, and Kaga having the second highest plane capacity of ALL carriers.

Saratoga Kai is still a very good carrier, but Zuikaku Kai is average at best, with Akagi being WAY better.
