For less than a large family that maintains a full freezer, I suggest 2 smaller ones. A full freezer is far more efficient than one a quarter full. Also, each time you open a small door less cold escapes. Uprights are super expensive and lose far more cold when opened. When low they can be consolidated and one shut off...
Another plus with 2 is one can be full of meat and the other can contain produce and ice cream. Meats on the outer layer of a frequently opened freezer cannot possibly as good as those in a freezer only opened every couple days... Final bonus is redundancy should one fail...
Happy hunting!
