I think it's important to add that the ability for a single DC to kill a sub becomes a little more important when the escorts have realistic numbers of charges. If you only need to avoid 18 early war, instead of 80, they need to have a more realistic effect. Of course we then get into the problem of not being able to out dive the DCs, or the limited settings available for the DCs (30/60/90m).
So I would tend to err on slightly less lethal.
Watching a zillion DC attacks with external cam on, I was stunned at how many DCs it took to kill me where they were touching or even inside the sub. Any of the possibly fatal settings would mean at the very least pretty severe damage, which is also fine I guess.
