Fight on med bay, period. Get blast doors.
Boardings are VERY easy to defeat.

I find it also very helpful to know how to do the "crew shuffle" when fighting the boarders, as explained here:

Turn OFF your Oxygen when venting boarders. Vent all the rooms in the path that boarders have to travel through, then lock the doors and turn off oxygen so they don't become habitable again. They won't stick around attacking systems if there's no air in the room, so it's exceptionally easy to get out completely unscathed if you have even level 2 doors.

Very very well done guide. Cannot recommend this enough - should be read by anyone having any trouble with the boarding game.
