I love my french door fridge. The fridge part is what you use most frequently and that is on the top so no bending over. The freezer is on the bottom and operates like a drawer so very easy to see what is in there. The freezer and fridge are both wide enough to accommodate pizza boxes and such. With a side by side which I have also had you have things at the bottom of the fridge and freezer you stand on your head to see and sometimes the freezer side especially is too narrow for some things. French door is the way to go.
