There are subsections for both titles at this board where you can ask for specific feedback and find info.
DW offers you also control over a modern frigate, ASW helicopter, and several modern-era Western and Eastern unclear and conventional submarines. Its more sim-heavy than SH, more study-sim-like. Warning: the manual is extremely thick, 3 cm.

That's a very good summary, Skybird.
Jason, you are correct, Sub Command is a better choice to begin with, it is a little more user friendly than DW.
You cannot go wrong with SH3 or 4, and there is also a great title called Crash Dive that is a lot like the older subsims Aces of the Deep and Silent Hunter I. You can
