As you probably didn't understand Pisces' reply I will reemphasize: HF sonar CANNOT be detected in SC. In real life yes but NOT in the game, so go ahead and use it.

UUV is a valuable tool in getting situational and positional awareness but WHEN and IF the conditions are proper. When are they proper? Thats for you to decide according to your information and skill. No one will give you a premade answer because there is not one. If you estimate that there is noone around to hear you, active UUV will spot the mines for you. If you 're not sure then you don't use it. Usually, intel should warn you about minefields but not always (life is tough...) so the routine for just about every decision you make (not just mines) will be from carefull to suspicious to paranoid. No ready answers.
