You can check the drop rates on Touken Browser: http://touken.7moe.com/

To save you some time: the boss node drop rate for Sadachan and Kikkou in their normal maps is about 2%. The rates are 1.3% and 0.9% in the event maps, respectively.

I think it's easier to grind for them in the events despite the lower rates because the normal maps are so much more hazardous.

I suggest you bring your two kiwame tantou along with high level r3 uchigatana with long range and tachi for e3. Kiwame wakizashi would probably have to be carried so don't bring them if you're uncertain of your team's strength. Iwatooshi might be useful but naginata don't tend to too well in difficult maps and I haven't tested mine, maybe give it a try to find out. Otegine will do as well as a tachi. For e4, the only tough enemy is the fast golden yari, which takes several hits even from tachi/oodachi to take down. Long range is a good idea to let your swords have more turns at killing it. I would guess that oodachi are more useful in e3 than e4 because there's more chance of them taking out multiple enemies in e3 and horses don't work in e4.

Your swords should have no problem clearing and farming both maps, but repairs are going to be expensive so try to go with uchigatana or kiwame if you can.
