[Ghost Rider/Star Wars] Following the destruction of Alderaan, who would suffer the greatest under Ghost Rider's Penance Stare? Tarkin or the engineer who operated the actual weapon?

Tarkin, easily. He's the one who made all the calls that led up to it. While the engineer would likely have some culpability, he's likely been browbeaten or otherwise brainwashed into loyalty and obedience. Tarkin's the sick fuck who decided to blow up a planet just to make a point, with full knowledge of exactly what he was doing and the consequences, and showed no hesitation or remorse.
