What's the best style for a refrigerator/freezer?

It depends on your intended usage. I've had a freezer-on-top, which was ok. I was younger then and stooping for things on the bottom of the refrigerator wasn't a big deal. If you have an ice-maker in the freezer-on-top, you lose a lot of freezer space.

I once had a freezer-on-the bottom unit. I liked that a lot. The most frequently used items were at eye-level.

I now have a side-by-side. I never had a water/ice in the door unit before and I've come to like that very much. However, I get annoyed because the freezer section is so narrow it seems that I can't get much in it. We've had to get a small freezer chest for the garage to give us more space. Likewise the refrigerator side. It just doesn't seem large enough although the over-all size of the unit is larger than anything I've had before.

So, since not one model has every feature you might want, you'll have to prioritize.
