What sizes are they? I never had any issues with my yellow belly being aggressive to any new fish when added.

If you can move any rocks around before adding it the yellow belly may be less likely to be aggressive as it focuses on finding a new territory or sleeping spot.

Also some articles call the orange shoulder aggressive and others as peaceful. What's been the experience of current and past owners?

Orange shoulder different than an orange spot?

I think the family of acanthurus is sometimes called aggressive as a whole. Just look at the powder blue for an example of fish that can be somewhat aggressive in that family.

I've had an orange shoulder (A. olivaceus) for about 3 or 4 years.  It is now about 7" (started @ 3-4")  and is the most peaceful tang of the 5 in my tank.
