Probably the sohal, but it might be close. Both are unlikely to be happy with any other tangs or large grazing fish. However, the sohal is going to be "better" at doing damage to fish it's marked as targets, as well as your hands.

This is what sohals have on their tails. It's a forwards facing barb which can also point outwards if the fish is angry. They can put some big holes in fish (or your hands) at times. The achilles has them too, but given that the sohal is twice as big and much bolder, it's a far more dangerous fish.
