Upright or Chest Freezer?

[Northshore]

I have both !
A upright for household items & a 9 cu ft.chest
In garage for wild game & bulky items.
I put butts , briskest , whole poultry etc. in chest,
Nothing to small.
We'll packaged items will keep 2-3 times as long in chest as upright for the reasons mentioned.

Describes my set up very well.  Chest type gets all big easy to identify stuff. Neither one is self defrosting

It appears that there is a common word which keeps appearing that may have me leaning toward the upright and that word is "organized". 
In my life I have been called many things...good and bad..but "organized" ain't one of them.  My thought process, such that it is, is organized but that's about the extent of my organizing.  I used  to put a 4x8 piece of plywood on the top of every desk I had in the Army for a desk top.  Standard tops were just tooooo small.

I think I may have inherited one of your old army desks a time or two

I have the same setup. We had a chest for years and it can be a pain for smaller things like corn dogs, bacon, egg rolls. We bought an upright not too long ago and it holds all the smaller things and things you need to get to frequently and the frozen veggies we are stocking up on now. . The chest holds all the meat, butts and stuff I pick up on sale and vac bag to cook later. We have the upright, the chest, the freezer in the fridge in the kitchen and the freezer in the beer fridge in the basement.
