Only time I'd consider the "scuttle/rescue" option is if my diesels had been knocked out, yet I still managed to EVADE the destroyers. Again, realistically speaking being rescued would depend on if there was another U-boat operating close enough to pick you up before more enemy showed up. You have to take into consideration that you'd not be the only one to have thrown out an SOS.

I agree. It's late '42 near the Rockall Banks. Within range of radar equipped aircraft. Assume that at least one of the destroyers got off a distress call. I think you'll have 'hostile' company arriving shortly.
I'd write the crew off as POWs.
