Once you own a french door with bottom freezer drawer you will never, ever go back to a side by side.
What do you use the most every single day...in and out all day long?
The refrigerator section. So to me a top mount freezer is completely out of the question or running.
The side by sides by their very design limit visibilty and utilization. And worst of all the need to hunt and peck and move stuff around to find the pickles.
Measure the space you have...most importantly the width and the height. Then buy the biggest bottom mount/french door that will fit.
I ignore the depth measurement as unimportant because the difference in depth as size goes up is only a matter of one to three inches.....which for all practical purposes has no impact on the decision.
Don't be tempted to buy one that is only the depth of your counters.....you will be locked into almost no size choice and the smallest refrigerator.
All makes of refrigerator manufacturers are being very competitive these days. There is a lot of refigerator being offered for very reasonable prices.
Be sure to get the water and ice server in the door. Check place like HH Gregg, Best But, Home Depot and Lowes for best prices.
Good luck.
