A yellow 15.5cm (The best cannon carriers can equip) is worth 10.5 in attack stats, a Type 99 (The default dive bombers) is worth 10 points, so planes win pretty easily.

Keep in mind that equipping anything other than a dive/torpedo bomber will lower the amount of attacks your carriers get during the initial air phase, potentially making them nothing more than weak BBs/CAs with expensive repairs.
