I do not recall ever sinking a major warship in SH4 and so am a trifle envious. That said though:
Take the shot at the capital ship most likely to achieve the greatest number of hits. If this appears equal, go for the carrier.
Subjectively, the loss of a fleet carrier does much greater harm to the Japanese war effort and correspondingly is of greater benefit to America in the Pacific. While the battleship will earn a higher score, solely by virtue of displacement, sinking the carrier is an arguably better result when viewed through the big-picture lens.
Just $0.02 CAD.
