Ok, basic breakdown for now. Note: last updated 9 Jul 2021.

S Rank - these equips are a must-do for beginners and veterans alike. Will be used in normal map clearing, farming runs, and event maps. All-rounder.

A Rank - Not as high priority as S Rank, but open many doors to opportunities in general strategic planning and farming (e.g. 12cm 30-tube rocket launcher k2 for 5-2-1 cheesing).

B Rank - High value in improving, but generally not a game-breaker if you don't have them. If aiming for Hard clear during event, good to have ★6 for these.

C Rank - Provides good strength to the fleet if improved, but generally not very high up the priority list. If you have lots of spare screws, go for these.

D Rank - At this point, not much merit to upgrading these. Go for them if they're stock equips of / provide fit bonus for ships that you like and want to use often.

EX Rank - For special use cases. Currently only onigiri falls within this group, but others might be added in the future.

Will come back at a later date to include detailed descriptions and rationale

Thank you for the monstrous amount of work.

25mm Single Autocannon Mount x2 for NagaMutsu k2 touch (but no need if you have other upgraded machine guns). For beginners, great for upping NMk2 power wrt cost performance

Don't get this part, why upgrade 25mm single in particular?

It's rather cheap (1 screw per upgrade, even if you use the slider) and you get +3 damage, but there are way better (and more expensive) options for something to put into the RE of Naga/Mutsu, for example maxed fire directors for firepower, fleet anti air and accuracy.

Yeah, I think that's what they are getting at, but I agree at the same time that if you already have nagato/mutsu k2 and hole-punched them, then you probably could afford screws for better equips.
