One on one battles between submarines were rare. Not counting surprise attacks when submarines sank enemy submarines, which usually involved surprise.
Here we have a late World War II American submarine squaring off against the most common long-range German U-Boat. Consider everything in this battle. Stealth, survivability of the design, weaponry. Assume crews of approximately equal capabilities.
Captains are free to fight submerged or surfaced, but ultimately the best combination of technological advantages wins the day.
Who would that be? USN or Kriegsmarine?
