Well the Jutland would be the one for having all its combat action involving surface combatants.
Surigao Strait was part of a larger battle that included carriers and subs etc.
So it comes down to an authors preference.
BTW: Amaze your friends with trivia, when was the last ship sunk by a battleship in war?
Answer: February 7th 1991. USS Wisconsin sank 15 Iraqi boats while shelling the Khawr al-Mufattah marina.
