Definitely Jolteon. Electric/Ghost has fantastic neutral coverage, and Water/Ice is all Vaporeon really needs in terms of attacking. Round out the rest of Vaporeon's moves with non-attacking moves. Haze, Toxic, Rest, Sleep Talk, Yawn and Wish are all good options.

Also, get rid of Double Kick on Jolteon. His physical attack stat is irredeemably bad and should never be bothered with.

Jolteon since they can out speed the troublesome ghosts. Golurk is susceptible to water and ice iirc so the STAB already makes surf or whatever stronger

Vaporeon doesn't have the SPA to really make use of coverage moves well. It would be better off having Toxic and taking advantage of its bulk.

I would be more inclined to give it to Espeon or Sylveon

I have Flareon.

My team is Flareon, Jolteon, Vaporeon, and Leafeon.

Why not both? TMs are infinite use starting with Gen 5.

This too. Espeon can also use it for coverage against Ghosts and other Psychics. Vaporeon and Umbreon don't need it, while Leafeon is better off with physical attacks. Flareon and Glaceon could use it if you don't have any other ideas of what to give them, but in Flareon's case, it's redundant coverage if it already knows Bite.

He's only in-game right now. Once he gets the Ice Beam TM later on, I'm sure he'll make the change.

Vaporeon pretty much only needs a water move and an ice move to be effective and the other two slots should be utility due to it's bulk.

Jolteon doesn't really need Shadow Ball to cover against anything, but would make better use of it than vaporeon.

It's good for neutral coverage though. Very few Pokemon resist both Electric and Ghost moves, and all the ones that do resist both are covered by Signal Beam.
