Having sailed in all of them apart from the new ones added in gwx and the type XXI im going to be different and say a type IXB. My reasons being that the IXB still has the same amount of torpedoes as a IXC but a faster dive time. It has a shorter range though which for some is major drawback. With the metox detector rigged and the quadruple barelled 20mm AA gun plus two other 20mm guns its an more effective defence against aircraft both through evasion and stand up and fight scenarios. I know this isnt an answer to your original post so I would have the VIIC out of the two boats. The dive time in a IXC is dangerously slow
