I read this AAR from the beginning yesterday. Great day to choose, it turns out, because it had an awesome climax. You guys are really going at it early.

Regarding captain aggression ratings, it's something I don't really consider. Provided it's 60+, and the other important stats (naval, leadership, inspiration) are high, they'll do. That seems to be the sweet spot of prosecuting an engagement enough that you can land some hits, but withdraw when things don't work out as planned.
The exceptions are the fights that are high stakes, or that you know you've a tactical advantage - in those cases I swap in one of the IJN admirals that communicate only by shouting - it's those battles that you want the advantage to be pressed to the fullest extent. This is the perfect example - BB on CV combat would merit a TF commander so aggressive he'd order the ships to close in so he could fire his pistol at the CV then lead a boarding party in the smoke.
Tanaka was my go-to guy for those kinds of engagements. I liked to imagine him standing on the bow directing the battle.
Tanaka and Mikawa are my go-to's, but the more I play the more I choose my spots for the aggressive SCTF admirals. When not restricted by reaction limits they have a tendency to chase low-value objectives too far, wasting ordinance and putting them out of position.
