SH5 is pretty complicated to install correctly with all patches and takes hours of reading so you apply to the letter the instructions (furthermore for a steam download as mine)
But now so is SH3 GWX3 with all exe patches! (4GB patch, H.sie etc)
SH4 might be the easiest to install.
Now, trying to be objective, the best and the bad from my experience...
SH5 TWOS what i like:
- best clouds ever
- best environment lightings
- very good boats rendering
- best sub interior
- best crew animation
- very good campaign gameplay
- good overall atmosphere
- ability to move everywhere inside the sub
- sub external rendering
- damaged effects
- full real navigation
- lot of life everywhere
What i dislike:
- steam and Uplay
- loading time
- gelly waves rendering
- fog for days
- weather change each save/load
- récurent bugs (telegraph dials, boats sink marks etc)
- unable to save on patrol zone without starting over
- some annoying stutters (mainly inside)
SH4 TMO/OM/FOTRS what i like:
- loading time
- the gameplay theater change (Pacific war)
- water transparency
- good boats rendering
- good sub external rendering
- game very fluent on my rig
- the sinking physics
- underwater view
- sun/moon water reflection
What i dislike:
- days without any encounter (mainly TMO)
- weather rendering
- fog rendering
- récurent bugs (sun through crew/sub)
- Uber DDs
SH3 GWX3 what i like:
- loading time
- waves rendering (MEP V6)
- 20km environment rendering (MEP V6)
- weather changes (H.sie patch)
- best sound mod (Thomsen)
- global atmosphere and weather atmosphere
- SH3 Commander
- Crew management
- external sub rendering (U-Boat compilation)
- internal sub rendering (FM new interior)
- life everywhere
- game very fluent
What i dislike:
- crew rendering (a bit outdated)
- underwater view
- obligation to have a widescreen gui mod (limited choice)
- some lights through deck crew
- crew not changing clothes in storms (only done manually)

You forgot to add to SH 5 ONLY Type VII. Plus if you know russian language you can use for SH 4 with KSD II. Its best mod for Sh 4 if you want to play with U-boats way better then OM, one big disadavantage has that is in RUSSIAN.
