With ships the two scales that matter are generally 1/700 and 1/350. Airfix still has a few 1/600 scale kits around, but those exist pretty much solely for the sake of people who built those kits as kids back in the sixties and seventies and now want to build the exact same kit again. And with sailing ships scales are all over the place. So, anyway, if you want some other stuff in scale with these ships, you're probably going to have to go find them in one of those two scales (which as far as I can tell means 1/700 resin kits here, maybe not the best beginner stuff no). Or you might not give a fuck, in which case none of my ramblings matter.
As for your actual question all I can really say is that Hasegawa's Kongo-class destroyers are a bit of a pain in the ass to assemble. Something from Tamiya would probably be pretty easy to assemble, but their modern ship range is rather limited. How Heller's kits stack up here, well, your googling of reviews is probably about as good as mine. Look for build logs and such as well, model reviews are often rather short on actually building the kits and as such can't tell you much about if shit actually fits or not (as per
