To be fair to the argument, I have not tried TMO. I read the manual and I disagreed with the premise of making the game harder for its own sake. I prefer historical realism over this "arcade style" challenge. The issue is that the mods can only do so much because the source code is still locked down by Ubi. Historically, the IJN ranged from laughably bad to unnervingly competent with its ASW abilities.
Not knowing whether or not you had an inexperienced or incompetent escort skipper versus a Bungo Pete creates a sufficiently tense and realistic environment. Likewise, even RFB makes a few historical errors, particularly with depth charges.

Can anything be said beyond "Try them both?"

Agreed.
