I've used them both, but the IX is my favorite.

Those extra torps and added deck gun punch allow for that bit more tonnage each patrol.

As for the increased dive times and reduced manovrability, IMHO a good kaleun can work round them. I've managed soom sucessful harbour raids with a IX when having a "Prien" moment.

Made it to Oct '44 now and trying to master the XXI.
