What's worth more - a liner or a cruiser?

I would try to get both. When I am not sure, I use magnetic shots to cripple the ship, because immobilised ship is easy prey.

Precisely! Liners capable of carrying upwards of 5,000+ troops: ie a division for a D-Day type landing are a strategic target whereas a cruser or carrier is a tactical target. The Queen Mary, Queen Elizabeth, RMS Britannic(Titanic's sister ship-hit a mine in the Agean Sea) and WWI's HMS Lusitania, torpedoed off Ireland, were such. Only the heavy Cruiser USS Indianapolis, transporting the atomic bomb that ended WWII, attains brief strategic status...after which it was tactically sunk on the return voyage with massive loss of life by an IJN submarine.
