Well, if anyone cares, I've done a bit more digging to satisfy my own curiosity.

Based off some uboat.net information and a couple of documentaries the rough figures are:

685 Type VIIs were built and 187 Type IXs were built. The IXs sunk about 37% of the total tonnage sunk by U-Boats.

I can't say that the other 63% can be claimed entirely by the VIIs, but considering the low numbers of IIs, XXIIIs, Xs, & etc., the VIIs can probably be said to have sunk the most tonnage.
