Kaga is best among the four. Highest plane count, highest hp and armor among those four. The subsequent power ranking depends on what type of planes you use. For dive-bombing, Kaga, Akagi, Zuikaku then Shoukaku because of firepower and armor. For torpedo bombing, Kaga, Zuikaku, Shoukaku then Akagi due to plane count and slot balance.

But Taihou is definitely the Shimakaze of CV. She is the best carrier.
