It depends on the tactical situation, but if torpedo efficiency is your primary concern, then night-time surface attacks (early in the war) can be most effective. If you lower your profile, (decks awash), and plan your approach carefully, you can often penetrate to point blank range where the odds of a miss are reduced to a minimum.

That plus there's a certain sense of satisfaction in shredding their defensive screen without even having submerged.
