One thing I find a bit challenging in the game is crew management. Any tips on keeping my Sub-Lieutenants at their stations consistently? Short of remembering their names and their default posts it has been difficult to keep them at the same station. They eventually need sleep and I invariably forget where they were originally stationed once rested. I assume that keeping them at a single station as much as possible will result in faster "experience" points? or does this not matter?

I don't particularly care
who mans a station, as long as the station is manned. If you double-click on a compartment, it will fully man it as long as there are people to man it. I do not use the various "diving stations, surface stations, etc." buttons down at the bottom right. As I recall there was a possible crash bug or something related to those anyway.
In Stock SH3 the only serious officer bug is the WO never goes up onto the bridge when you surface. You have to manually place him there unless you install the H.sie patch.

When awarding medals - is it better to spread them among the crew or stack one particular person up?

Once your man gets the second-to-highest possible medal, he no longer fatigues. So I try to get my sonar/radio guys non-fatiguable first, then my officers, then my torpedomen, etc.
Some people turn off fatigue but to me building up an awesome crew is part of what makes you get a feeling of investing in them.

I can't seem to get the hydrophone working and the sonar officer rarely reports any sound contacts, even when I know there are vessels in the vicinity. Will these come with a later sub or as a sub upgrade?

The more skill they have, the better they will operate. Though I find that there are still times even with the best crew that you will hear things manually that they don't report.
