** not sure whether to get the chest freezer or the door type. **

Chest freezers are the most efficient (see the following). If you go with an upright, I suggest you get a frost free model.

From a quick comparison I did from information posted at Frigidaire's web site.

20 cu.ft chest freezer uses 490 kWh/year
20 cu.ft upright freezer uses 763 kWh/year

just for comparison:

EnergyStar 20 cu.ft. Top-freezer fridge 458 kWh/year
Regular 20 cu.ft. Top-freezer fridge 509 kWh/year
23 cu.ft. Side by side 686 kWh/year

No I don't, sorry.

I chose an upright because of its "footprint". It takes up less floor space.

I mean the reverse arrangement of the standard fridge, with the freezer below the fridge. They come with a door or a pull out and I don't know which kind is better to use on a daily basis. thanks

** They come with a door or a pull out **

A drawer is usually what those are referred to rather than a chest.

I've heard many bottom freezer models with a freezer drawer have been having problems with the drawer's tracks. I don't know if the current models are made any differently now or not.

OK, got it.
I like the freezer on the bottom because I get into the refrigerator much more often than the freezer, and it's nice to have the things I want most often at eye level.
Other than that, no preference.
