I personally only go for storages that are behind one or two levels of walls. If a storage is all the way in the core behind 3 levels of walls I leave it alone. You could bring more wallbreakers if you want to go for fully central storages, but I would rather skip them.
It should also be noted that I pick bases that I can get 50% on and get the DE. Sometimes I will take a risky base that I might not be able to beat if it has enough DE and the occasional mistake keeps me from going up in league.
