The difficulty is a bit unevenly spread (there's not a real clear up-down thing like in DB, though Great Thing and Storm Causer (the two corner zones) are the hardest bosses, iirc.

The easiest route is typically ABDHQL* (V or W, with V's boss being a little easier).

I think the most important thing for the 1CC is knowing where the hidden 1ups are (1 in the 3rd zone and 1 in the 6th zone), using missiles effectively (point-blanking bosses with missiles is the fastest way to kill them), and not going overboard with powering up your ship - try to stagger out your powerup acquisition (like having 4 lasers against Ancient Dozer as opposed to 1 wave, or sticking with the Wave + normal shot combo). While at a certain point this won't matter any more in raw difficulty, the game gets harder the more you power up your shot between "main" levels (when your shot-type changes).

Also avoid this prick at all costs if you want to 1CC
