IS-DHS still take up 3 crit slots instead of 2 crit slots. So id like to see IS-DHS be better than C-DHS.
I think it could work with:
IS-SHS at 0.8-0.9
IS-DHS at 2.0 (both internal and external)
C-DHS at 2.0 (internal) and 1.5 (external)
and allow SHS and DHS to be mixed
SHS would be better when you have a surplus of tonnage
DHS would be better when you have a surplus of crits
Sure, sounds good.
As far as I'm concerned a lot of different value configuration could work in such a system, it's a matter of testing and adjusting and not really the big question.
The important part is that mixing SHS and DHS could allow a more elegant and natural niche for SHS.
Remember that Clans would also be able to mix SHS and cDHS, there is no such thing as "IS-SHS" just like there is no such thing as IS standard engines, both factions have the same SHS and standard engines.
You can already boat SHS on Clan battlemechs, I have a KDK-5 SHS boat for example. It's entirely possible that the most powerful builds enabled by allowing mixing SHS and DHS would be Clan assault laser boats of this kind.
