I usually set depth on magnetics to run (I hope) within 1 meter of the ship's draft - below it in calm water of course but above it if the sea's bouncing her around a bit. If the water's really rough and I still want to go magnetic I'll even set the depth the same as for impact just to be sure.
The nice thing about a magnetic is that even if it hits the target, it's still going to go off because if it hits, it's definitely inside the EM field. And it seems to negate the problem of impact eels bouncing off without detonating because of the angle of approach was outside the optimum range.
