For going south the best guaranteed comp is 1 CL 5 DD.

You also have the option to bulk up your south fleet, but you aren't guaranteed to go south or stay south. I think you can go as heavy as around 1 AV, 1 CA/V, 2 CL, 2 DD or any combination thereof (some people like bringing 1 CAV or 2 CL) but again not guaranteed south.

North route the only real rule of thumb is max 3 of BB/V + CV/L. Some people go 3 CV and bring no BB. Other common forms involve 1 BB 2 CV and the rest of the slots typically filled with CA/V and CLT
