I rather let them come into the system so I can deal with them more effectively with less losses. If they don't come in to my system... then... well... I just leave them alone in their space. I have plenty of other space to explore.
In general I would withdraw from the JP, have a fortified base of operation with ground troops and STO, defensive bases and a border fleet. These places are way cheaper to maintain, build and more flexible. Designing ships with the purpose of JP defence or attack makes them relatively useless in regular space combat.
But if you really want to attack through a JP... then you just need to do what you do.... build even larger ships with smeg tons of the best shields that you have. Use the best jump drives that you have to get some distance to the enemy. Deploying mines if you have missile ships is a very good idea too... But as I said... designing ships that is built for JP attack are expensive and not that useful for much else. But overwhelming the opponent on the other side is the only way to deal with them and accepting losses is something you just have to deal with.
