I do try to leverage building similar size/cost classes so I can build less common classes at similar size yards. So if I have a standard primary missile armed DD, and a less commonly used beam or PD destroyer, I will try and get that secondary ship close to the same size/cost so I can build them at the same yard as the Primary class. You can see this in the F5 design screen, on the DAC/Rank/Information tab, it is the 3rd box down in the middle of the screen, listed as "Eligible additional classes if this is a primary class for a shipyard".
