Which torpedo is better: 53-65K or 53-65M?

I have found that there are two 53-65 torpedo versions in DW/LWAMI and SCXII games. As it is probably well known they slightly differ in propulsion which means various oxidizers are used: pure oxygen (K) and hydrogen peroxide (M).

So what version should have better range/speed performance and why?

I can only guess it is 53-65M because hydrogen peroxide's oxidation potential is 1.8 in contrary to oxygen's 1.23.
