Well, it certainly makes sense that you wouldn't want a half-dozen Saiuns just sitting in the hanger at your base. But I put the numbers from the Japanese Wiki into a spreadsheet and it looks like using 110 bauxite is still slightly more effective if you want rare planes. There are the usual issues with sample size and confirmation bias that surround these reports, but if you take the data at face value that extra 10 bauxite gives you a 2% or so higher chance of getting a good (Non-Saiun) plane. Whether that's worth it or not depends on how many dev materials and how much bauxite you have, of course, but if you're looking strictly at "which recipe will give me the better stuff", 110 seems to be the winner.

Recipe 110 100
Ryu- Kai 2.3 2.3
Reppu 2.6 2.5
Sui 12-Ko 2.6 2.2
Ryuusei 4.4 4
Shiden 2.1 1.9
Type 62 2.8 2.3
Total 16.8 15.2

Then again, my track record on understanding KanColle's systems hasn't been extraordinarily good so far, so if I'm making a mistake I'd be happy to hear it.
