Well actually you do need to say more. The most important thing to say is that you really can't compare the Type VII with the Gato Fleet sub as both had different missions and operating environments. Not to mention that the Type VII was constructed in 1935 and the Gato in 1941.
There were some excellent discussions on this in a thread about "who had the best sub" a while back (use the search function if interested).
Here is the short answer: There was no best... only the best for that environment.
