The main differences between the two routes are 1) The additional submarine node; and 2) More restrictive speed and large ship limitations for the shorter route. Generally, taking the shortest route should suffice for chipping pre-LD, especially with Friend Fleets now available. Taking the shorter route also allows for all 3 LBAS to be committed to the boss node, while the longer route may need 1 base of Toukai/ASW planes for consistent pass rate at Z1. Node Support is optional; Boss Support may be useful even pre-LD to help with clearing the Escort Fleet prior to the Opening Torpedo phase.

Regardless of your preferred route, it may be worth using [[South Dakota]] here to avoid potentially rolling some of the weaker FFs. Most variants of the [[Hiryuu]]/[[Souryuu]] FF are very strong here as they are equipped with Murata TBs and NCVCI capability.
Once you are within LD range, the debuff specific to the boss ship (South Pacific Aircraft Carrier Princess) becomes available.
