I have both lines and have found that the Junyo line is better. The Taiho is great at dodging bombs and shells even with no engys on it. I never use AA on my CV cause I carry ftrs. The thing with ftrs is that you shouldn't concern yourself with how many enemy ftrs you can shoot down. If your ftrs are lower lvls, you need to either try to drag enemy ftrs, scout for your BB's, or look for bomber waves or scouts to kill. I can get 15K in shoot downs with a loss and get 18K XP. Or I can get 7K in shoot downs and 30K XP with a win. So try to help your BB's as much as possible.
As far as the main differences in the 2 lines.
Hosho line has more CV's which breaks up the grind nicely. And most CV's in this line are slightly better than the Junyo line when is come to DP and being able to launch more planes at earlier lvls. The exception to this is the Taiho. Compare the CV 3's and the Taiho is better until you get the Kaga. But you will get the CV5 2 lvls earlier in the Junyo line than the Hosho line. The Junyo line, even though it has less DP, does seem to have better armor than the Hosho line too.
