What is the most effective penetration aid for a MIRV launch vehicle, or what would be the ideal combination?

Is that a pun? I was like WTF when I readed the title, and again when I readed the description.

Move this into noob questions...
edit: Oh damn, read MLRS instead of MIRV.
Anyway it's something like discussed 100 times in very little detail b/c very little is needed.

Decoys and numbers. Lots of both.
Swamping and overwhelming an SDI is a game of numbers.

Fuck penaids, just use the room to throw more MIRVs.

Blow up the final booster stage after it separates, instant decoys.

Go R-36 size at minimum. Modern penaids, at least the ones in the pdf Kyiv has about the ABM basing in Europe, are hilarious. The payload penalty isn't that bad, and the exchange is gonna see (if you're smart) a thought out attack strategy.
ie a series of high altitude bursts for charged particle goodness and precursor MARV's to fuck strategic defence installations. ABM radars are big fat targets that make a fuckload of noise that can be heard from sphess, or even MARV's pulling anti-radiation misions.
