Best fleet?

Hello, I'm wondering, as you can guess by the title, what fleet is best in SH4(TMO currently) on the American campaign.

I recently started one with the asiatic fleet and was sent to do a special supply mission on the first day! It was rather funny to do it on the 8th. I was then sent east of formosa where I sank some 2000 or 3000 tons of fishing ships and trawlers (not a single big ship

) with my deck gun before running out of ammo and calling it a day(also got one man killed by heavy machinegun fire from a trawler) and returning home.

Does the Pacific fleet get more "sit and watch" recon missions as said in the intro video or do they get "action" assignments early on too? Also, is the distance a problem? Even refuelling from midway it seems really far to the front lines.

BTW, the pacific ocean really is huge, my transit times are about twice as long as in SH3.
