"The CC is 1-2 turns of research higher"

Depends when the need occurs and lots of other factors. We are talking early years, suprise attacks, a comparitively rare time for war.

We may be talking 100/250 gates at best.

I fought cruisers with counter design destroyers fairly effectively.

One may also make the arguement that BB is only x years higher research and makes CC obsolete. As far as inititive and usefulness goes, it is a bigger jump to battleship than cruiser is from destroyer, imo.

And I have recently heard someone argue how BB are kind of useless because nubs are just around the corner (only 10 years away in his opinion).

You don't always have a choice to wait. If it is your choice, you may choose early if an opponent is less prepared than you.

As an added note... in my last game, my JOAT opponent probably started playing wargames with his IT neighbour around 2420. I in turn invited the JOAT to war games around 2430. My beta torps were mainly to lure him into getting cruisers sent my way (to defend his remote colony on my border). His cruisers eventually fell to some counter design destroyers.
