Advanced Targeting Core (ATC), Integrated Targeting Unit (ITU), and Dedicated Targeting Core (DTC) are all mutually exclusive with each other.
That said, once you get ITU you should use that exclusively over DTC since it costs the same OP and is an upgrade. ITU can be used on Frigates and Destroyers too.

But it not always worth of it. Frigates does not get much range from it (IIRC +10%), so not always worth OP spent. Ans there are some SO builds, where ITU bonus effectively useless.

ITU on frigates is near worthless. 4 OP for 10% range is extremely expensive and in the end you aren't likely to out-range anybody. For few things you do out-range (mostly other frigates), it's by very small margin which AI is not precise enough with range management to utilize.
