I'd rather go deep. In stock, the aircraft are slow to declare something hostile, so they're often slow to attack a surfaced submarine unless you fired a weapon. That means you can often shoot one, but I still don't think it's wise. Usually helos have friends. So... you pop up and shoot, but you're still spotted and might get targeted by over the horizon ASCM.

It's just safer to go deep and avoid detection in the first place.
