Each time I get a new boat, I take it down until the crew start's screaming about taking damage. Then I take it back for repairs. That's my shakedown cruise. Then for each patrol I take it down to my prefered escape depth (usally >200m) to make sure it still goes that deep, and then continue on my patrol.

In the VII's I would usually take damage around 230m, while the IX's I've tested recently have pegged the gauge with no problems, so at that point i gave up. So in the VII's i'd evade at about 200m, and the IX's 220 or so. I do have randomize crush depth on, so that's why I test each boat each patrol.
