As Allied player, I use those small 4 or 5 plane HQ groups of various bomber types on ASW duty until they are withdrawn. Due to their small size they train up fairly quickly.

Pretty simple. You want aircraft that carry 500lb (250kg) bombs. Good range and high ASW experience. All other things are just fluff. It is the big bombs that kill subs. I mix the altitude between 1,000 and 4,000 feet but I don't we any real difference.

Radar/MAD are not fluff [;)], makes ASW considerably more efficient

I don't know about "considerably", but they do affect it.
