I agree with Barb, what's a consensus?

Course I gotta be different.

We prefer the chest, defrost yourself once every other year or so.
Freezes harder, and when you need to rearrange, doesn't lose the cold
like the uprights do. Cold settles, so you can leave it open longer.
To defrost, a hair dryer and a little hot water in a ice cream pail gets
it done in about 10 minutes. Hardest part is unloading to defrost.

Just my opine. YMMV
