IMO, the endgame fleet should be Yura + armored DDs. You have to save up REs from events and quests for the DDs so they can use armor bulges. That's not all; you need BPs for most of them. Check Anti-torpedo Bulge (Medium) for whoever can use it. Those are the ones you need and they can reach 100 ASW with equipment. Some of them can achieve OASW with just 2 sonars so RE them so they can use 2 armors.

Their ASW equipment should consist of only improved sonars since they provide evasion bonus vs torpedoes. Using any other ASW weapons overkill the map. You might have a negligible chance of eating sub torps but it's way more important to deal with the surface node. All in all, you may still get chuuha along the way but in my experience of running 13 7--1s per day, number of buckets consumed are almost zero with that fleet. Retreats are only mild annoyances.

Still, BPs and REs should be given to the ships you want to use for EOs. However, you can use those DDs for 1-5, 1-6, 2-5, 3-5, and 6-5 as well. I'd say it's a worthwhile investment. They are always my first choices in many tasks.
