Have you tried searching this forum with the built-in search tool? I bet you'll find stuff you can use. Generally speaking, your decisions are easy. The heavy hitters are the Mk10, 14 and the slower electric 18s near the end of the war. The fast torpex 14s are the prefered heavy hitters but leave a bubble trail. The pre-torpex 10s are the best early war torp especially if you have full realism, but you really need to send several out in a spread to guarentee a sinking. The 23s are a specialty torp and you should only carry one or two of them, seldom used.

Here is a general discussion of WWII torps you might find interesting:

This warfare doctrine manual contains the same information quoted in the SH4 manual:
