upright you can actually get to and see everything in there
with a chest you can only see whats on the top and everything below 6" is frozen into a solid mass you have to throw away when you clean it out once a year
every chest freezer we ever had caused us to throw out lots and lots of wasted food every year, go with the upright

I obtained my chest freezer when we were cleaning out my grandparents house after they had both passed away. I hauled a ton of old food off to the dumpster before loading it in a U-Haul truck to bring back home. This was back in 2015, and we threw away anything that wasn't labeled or more than a year old. Which wasn't much since he had trouble getting around and had been living with my Mom a good bit, and not at his usual gardening. We spent Thanksgiving at their house one last time, and spent all week getting it ready to sell, so we ate as much as we could out of there too. There were some good cuts of deer meat in there, a ton of black-eyed peas, and other vegetables from his garden, but man it was a mess.
I got some crates that stack and use those. Four of them, with veggies to the left, meats to the right. Also keep bags of ice and frozen gallon bottles of water in there in the middle to help if we get a power outage. It is still running great 6 years later, and we get something out or put something in a few times a week. Yeah, my parents have an upright one in their basement and it is much easier, but this was free and still works. If it dies, I'll buy a small upright to keep down there next to the beer fridges.
