I like playing certain styles with different Daimyo's

With Iwagawa I will play use ambushes, I will run around the map and burn the timer out, I will make allies then assassinate. I will use my Daimyo with 9 units of battle ninja and send him out against small provinces.

With Shimazu, I will try and get Toda ASAP (it has a legendary sword dojo in the 1530 campaign).

Takeda (1550 expert) made a all calvary strike force based around Takeda Shingen. One unit of each calvary type and nothing else so it was Hatamoto, Yari, Cal Archer, Nagni, Heavy. Attacked any province of similar size. Eventually added an extra Heavy calvary unit. Always replenished the depleted units. Attacked all the capitals/castles/heirs and Daimyos as quickly as possible and only keeping a core of lands around the Takeda capital and some pretty good static defenders. Totomi is a calvary lords sweet spot to defend and the archers can then defend the mountains and rivers.
