For patrols? HELL NO. The IID is a TERRIBLE sub for those, but harbor raids it's extremely useful for (sadly, it lacks a high ordnance capacity and a suitable diesel engine with good batteries, BUT it is small; however, it's not up for the deck gun or anti-aircraft gun upgrade). I think I'd rather be using a Mittel U from 1915 than an IID in the middle of the North Atlantic!
VIIC is one of the best, in my honest opinion. IF you manage to obtain the option to take an XXI in the late war, I suggest you do so... by far, it's the best of all of them, but my only complaint about it is the lacking of a deck gun for smaller merchants (I don't want to waste torpedoes on a fishing boat...).
