I started my save as a rookie and just accepted the first freighter I was offered. It was a B class and had plenty of base built with parts I hadn’t even unlocked yet which was great for me ‘cause I was so early-game. Finally decided to get around to upgrading to a top of the line freighter, and after a couple weeks just casually checking out every freighter I happened to see the best I saw was a couple A’s.

Today I pretty much exclusively hunted for freighters for four hour (not contiguous hours, I can’t game for that long all at once!) without finding an S class. Finally, I caught an A I liked the look of, so I settled. Before I start spending bulkheads, is it worth it to keep casually looking for an S? Like, is there really any bonus beyond more supercharged slots? Searching gives me few results and most of it is 2-3 years old so may not even apply anymore.

I’d love to hear the groups advice, anecdotes, and other random freighter knowledge.

Don't do the battle. Go straight to the space station. Get out of your ship, get back in and go out to the freighter. Check its class. If not what you want, reload the bottom (oldest) save. You'll be back in the spave station. Rinse and repeat until you get what you want.

I know this used to be the case. Last time I tried though reloading the game no longer kicked off the battle (so the freighter was gone). You’re right that you can skip the fight if you land on the freighter, but I believe you now have to warp in each time.
