It really depends on situation. Back then, Kaga was a must CV if you want to reach air superiority, with her huge 46 plane slot. But with the update of Aircraft Proficiency, you don't really need a lot of reppu anymore to reach AS, and can fill some slots with bombers. Taihou ofc excels in this part, since her shelling power is quite high, just below Hiryuu K2 firepower. Not to mention her launch plane on moderate damage. No other CV have this feature.

But Kaga is really easy to get for beginner. She has fairly good FP too, 49. Not to mention, her 46 plane slot will come handy if you fill it with bomber, so there's a chance ur bomber will survive to boss node, if you meet heavy-AA fight in the middle of sortie.

I married both of them, and never regret. Kaga is still my most beloved CV.
