If you want to go for 1 CV, need to calculate for the slots and this the flow right now because it is hard to win AS against fleet full of enemy carriers or installations:

Kaga Kai > Shoukaku Kai 2 > Taihou Kai > Zuikaku Kai > Souryuu Kai 2 > Hiryuu Kai 2 > Unryuu class

If you want shelling ability, this is the flow

Shoukaku Kai 2 A > Hiryuu Kai 2 > Taihou Kai > Souryuu Kai 2 > Akagi/Kaga Kai > Zuikaku Kai > Unryuu class

Besides, Shoukaku Kai 2 A and Taihou Kai have an ability to shell in chuuha state so they can be considered as 2 best carriers on combined fleet in attacking aspect. For AS gain, Kaga still unbeatable due to her massive plane slots. Akagi can also do the same as Kaga but in a weaker way because her slots is a little bit less than Kaga. Besides both Armored CV, Hiryuu is also a great attacking carrier and Souryuu is a master on AA department. Zuikaku Kai have a balanced slot and suitable for fighter power provider to just like Shoukaku Kai or Shoukaku Kai 2. Unryuu class is more suitable for support exped, exped or sortieing in weaker map of event such as E-2 summer event. Long story short, all CV are useful if you know how to use them.
