Destroyers have one general purpose slot. You can stick a shield on it. You end up with a similar shield to armour ratio as cruisers and battleships counting the same shield tech levels.
RS is liked because armour is expensive and heavy (so often not used). Hordes tend to use lots of different ships with not all slots filled or filled with cheap stuff to increase the effective armour/cost.
I count 3 destroyers as close to the value of a cruiser and 3 cruisers to a battleship. Lighter ships lose init and bonus slot usefulness but gain in last move and gatableness and sometimes cost plus they split into smaller fleets.
Lighter ships allow you to battle range 3 weapons with cheaper and higher init range 2 ones. Also, range 2 cruisers get made fools of by range 3 destroyers that can stay out of range.
