So far I've only had experience with the typeII models and the VIIB. The type IX looks to me like a death trap, but I'm probably very wrong and I'm looking forward to trying one out at somepoint.

I thoroughly enjoy the IX, as the range and loadout allows for more interesting patrols.
The bigger/stronger hull means it can go deeper than a II or VII. I can get my II down to about 140m, my VII to about 200m, and the IX to about 240m before they start taking damage. Over 200m you are semi-safe from DCing as they were capped at 500ft. (I'm pretty sure this is modeled in GWX correct?)
I have not tried a VIIC/42 yet, but the only way to find out is to try. There is a little margin for error, as you will start taking damage before you implode, so you have to react quickly.
