Cole all the way, since at the end of 'The Impossible Life and Possible Death of Preston Cole' the Everest (already a formidable ship, with ~two MAC, god knows how many archer missiles and thick armour) was packing over one hundred thermonuclear missiles. don't see that ending well for an assault carrier, sure it might slice into the Everest and cripple her, but not before the carrier is vapourised. plus Cole is the be all and end all tactician, unbeaten in battle.
How many of those Shivas can be fired at once though? Do not forget about the Point Defence lasers that the Assault Carrier will have. Cole also had to greatly outnumber his opponents to win, and usually suffered staggering losses. Would the battle of Psi Serpentis have gone as well as it did had there been no Gas Giant to ignite?
The Everest is prone to be gutted by Plasma Torpedoes on the first hit. The Assault carrier has the combination of a shielding system and an effective point defence system.
