I have both but voted for peppermint since they are the smaller and more timid of the group.
I have 1 flame hawk and 3 peppermint and 2 cleaner. I've only had the hawk for about 2 weeks so there is still plenty of time for him to make an expensive meal.
The only time I've seen any aggression is when the cleaners get a little too insistent on "touching" the hawk. He'll usually nip them in the tail and that's the end of it.
The Cleaners and my Black Cap Basslet hang out in the same area and the cleaners are constantly trying to stroke him. Eventually, the basslet gets mad and nips the antenna of the cleaner. That angers the cleaner and he attacks the basslet. Quite amusing to watch

Had a Flame Hawk and a Cleaner once. Once. It took about 2 weeks for the Hawk to decide the Cleaner was more useful as dinner than as a cleaning station.
