The VIIC dives faster and has better upgrades available later in the war (more conning tower options, for example).

A 0.4 knot maximum speed difference underwater makes no big difference, especially considering you won't be using high speeds underwater very much. A 3 seconds faster dive time is a bigger advantage, imho.
