It depends on what you want your carriers to do. If you just want them to hold fighters for air superiority then go for Shoukaku/Zukaku due to more overall slots. Howerver, if you want the carrier to contribute in battle than Hiryuu and Soryuu are better due to their much fighter firepower.

Though it doesn't really matter if future events don't have the ship locking mechanism as event clearing is usually done with Kaga and Taihou.
