When one of the options is clearly superior, that hardly is a decision. Unless there are as many carriers in the queue as in CV Enhanced, the player will build them all. Assuming smooth conquest of SRA, it is easily possible to just squeeze a Taiho-class in the building program without sacrificing anything. The economy will still run at modest HI surplus, assuming the player does not go overboard in other areas. Assuming the oil production was wrecked to the point of inhibiting industry, the player will just halt some of the more expensive surface combatants.
EDIT: If you want to give players a choice, place Kawachi-class CBs in ports at the beginning of the scenario in damaged state, ensuring that they are not repaired until their normal availability timeline and with an option of CV conversion (to supbar CVs, with about 40-45 planes each, although well-protected), that will delay their availability to second half of 1944. This will actually provide an interesting conundrum.
EDIT2: And to be honest, I'm not too keen on major changes in general. No one even reached the end of 1942 yet, my game vs. Yubari is the longest-running, AFAIK and it suffers from all of the bugs (so in addition to the oversized Chinese army I've just found that my surface force is crippled until the end of 1942).
