Hard to choose but I'll go with the type IX. (b or c doesn't really make that much of a difference) I like the VII for it's manoeuvreability and faster diving.
But the IX has a lot more torpedoes. And you can sail her to the Caribbean! Those two combined offer the possibility of multiple-month patrols
And the IX looks good. (The VII too, but the IX just slightly better IMO)
So I'll vote type IX, but I love (and use) them both.

The IX's are hard hitters. I DO like how VII's handle underwater, though.

I run a separate career from each available flotilla, so I use both, as well as the Type II which you just left right off.

IX every time....see the world and have a heavier punch when it comes to the fight.

Unless the Type XXIII is available of course.

VIIC for the maneuverability... Quick dive, in and out and spin on a dime...

Default VIIC

I vote for VIIC because it just "feels" better, despite less torpedoes and diving depth. So far in my various careers a depth of 220 I sufficient and VIIC provides for this...

An i like the way it looks, dives and provides for a smaller target



Thats just me though
