Statistically, and due to length of time available, I prefer the Type IX-B. The dive time is slightly faster than later models, and I actually like the lesser range that it has compared to the Type IX-C and onward. (Less distance to travel on my missions.) The greater surface speed, extra torpedoes, and extended range of the Type IX-D2 is great, but the draft is also greater, and the dive times noticeably slower.
(At least according to the game manual. For all I know the GWX mod has changed this.)
