While I have limited experience of this, a couple of things.
Are you using BSs or smaller stuff?
I would imagine that with 9 ships you are probably into the realms of dedicated logistics, they fill the role so much better. That said in the tourney some teams had 2 logistics ships as part of a team and they created cap from each other (2 ships remote cap boosting each other creates cap from nowhere), repped each other and provided repping to the rest of the team too. The commentators still classed this as spidering.
I would consider using logistics ships when you are better off fitting your damage ships with pure gank and worrying less about their tanking.
Not sure if that makes much sense but hey-ho. Personally if I can fit a remote rep in a final high I will but more for gang convenience. Obviously unless I have been instructed to fit something different
