I say normal drive, or 2rds. You want to get deep quick. At silent running, or less than 2 knots you'll get nowhere. But no need to alert DDs that haven't spotted you yet either. Unless they are really close or already pointed in your way.

The DD sonar is like a flashlight pointing slanting down. But it also has a blind zone directly beneath it. (cone shaped) At maximum depth the undetectable region is the largest. But as the war gets older, the sonar starts to get better and detects further downwards. So you'll get less room to be undetectable. Atleast, that's what's in the GWX manual.
