I also make sure to set the depth at least 2-3 meters above the ships keel....usually for merchants and tankers leaving the default 4m is fine, and optimum.
As for me, magnetic are more dangerous then impact, and depth should be set no more then half a meter under the keel, this is for calm weather, for rough - a meter or 1.5.
