I agree that it's probably better to sink two tankers than to damage on battleship. On the other hand, if you could guarantee the BB, it's pretty much impossible for them to replace, whereas the tankers are a dime a dozen. Denying fuel is important, but the morale effect on both sides is vitally important as well.
Tough decision, but with only four torpedoes I too would choose the tankers.
