Definitely the nav map. I use auto-targeting, so therefore I like to abuse the PK. That's the only reason I'm ever in the attack map, otherwise I'd never use the thing. When I'm in an attack, I pop up approximately every 1000 yards of enemy travel to verify their position and update my PK solution. But I'm usually only up for about 30 seconds when I do that.
I'll verify the bearing on my 3000 yard plotter (yay for sonar lines and the 3000 yard plotter!), switch to periscope, up periscope and swing to the correct bearing while I'm on the way up. Clear the PK just before I break the surface lock on to the target, verify I've got the right one, PK it and do a quick once around to make sure no DDs have locked onto me and then it's down scope and hop over to the attack map to verify target's headed for my intercept point. Once I see there's no drastic change, it's back to the nav map so I can keep up on the tactical situation. I prefer the nav map over the attack map because it's easier for me to keep abreast of the whole tactical situation because of the wider angle view.
I do frequent the sonar station when I'm moving to intercept a convoy. I'm in 1941, so no radar station, but I suspect in '43 when I get SJ radar I'll be there as much or more than the sonar station. I tried a game starting in '44. I could really figure out radar (just didn't click for me) so I just set it to auto and let the crewmen handle it.
