No doubt,
Light aircraft carrier
Stratigicaly, an aircraft carrier is far better off, in that it does not have to engage directly, and can bring the offencive to the battleship whilst staying out of the range of the battleship.
Secondly, the carrier as a weapons platform will not put itself in jepardy during an engagement, whereas for the battleship to engage, the entire platform needs to be put at risk.
Where I to command a carrier engaging a battleship such as the Y! I would split the attack 60 / 40. 60 torpedoes 40 arial bombardment.
Whilst on thee subject, submerine or surface warship? Given approximate equal capabilities
The plating below water line is far more vonerable than the superstructure
