I'd say SHIV at this point is a safe bet. There are still reasons to prefer SHIII, such as the theater and the extent of the user-made add-ons for it, but SHIV is every bit as functional and looks prettier.
If you prefer the Atlantic, SHIII is still a more complete set. If you like the Pacific or don't care either way, SHIV is probably a better investment.
Thanks to Operation Monsun/Drumbeat mods, you can already play a limited number of realistic U-boat ops in SHIV.
