I'm with Dan. Don't belive it's my job to make sure the crew are getting rack time. I've tried most of the models that are out there and those in SH3C are as good as you are gonna get with SHIII without an SDK.
If you do like dealing with tired whinging Sims like crew members who don't know when to go to bed then I'd stick with the GWX standard as it is as balanced as anything else out there.
As far as strategies go you need to keep your eye on the clock and be careful where you put your excess crew when submerged. Before you go to sea get a spare qualified officer to help out with officer replacement. It helps if they have Repair quals as these will be helpful when you run into trouble.
The best (least stressful) place is the diesel engine room, but even here they will fatigue so it's not a bad idea to get your watch crew into the rack straight away and stick fresh ones on duty in the engine rooms.
At approx. every 7 hours start to look for "slackers" who can't hack the pace and swap em out for a rest. and try to make sure you have cycled everyone through by the 8 hour mark.
Make sure that you reward your crew as well as the more encouragement they get in the form of promotions and medals the less fatigue affects them so find the sleepier members of your crew and give em a boost with a promotion or a medal when in port.
What ever you do if you are running with any fatigue model, make sure that you alway's TC above 64x and that you never enter the crew management screen under TC cos it defaults to 32, (unless you change that with SH3C).
