I read all of Clay Blair's "Hitler's U-Boat War."
I am partial to the Atlantic, partly because I think it sets up an interesting campaign arc: Start early, when the ASW capabilities were weak, convoying was rare, and most U-Boats returned to base safely. Train your crew and yourself, because by the end of the war most sorties were suicide missions.
But in the Pacific, by the end of the war the Jap DD fleet was decimated and the hunting was easy.
Still, cruising the lovely Pacific sometimes seems nicer than weathering countless gales and fog in the North Sea and North Atlantic.
As much as I'd like to try all of them, between work, family (whom I haven't seen in months), and life, I hope I can have the time to really enjoy one of them.
