I think the answer is in your question: "some yes, and some no".

I've never heard anyone complain about a bluejaw not behaving in a reef.

I have one in a mix reef with shrimp and i have seen her nip once and a while at my brown zoas but noo damage to them. She has been in there for about 2 1/2 months.

I know two people that have had bluejaws in their reefs for a long time now without any problems. All fish are different though, so you may get one who doesn't fit the norm. Sargassum and pinktails tend to be reefsafe as well, and crosshatches too if you have the dough.

Triggers eat pretty much anything you put in the tank. A variety is best. Feed the trigger whatever you feed your other fish and also offer from time to time sliversides, krill, raw shrimp, squid, clams. They're some of the least picky fish around but to be healthy they need some of the chunkier food I mentioned.
