there are many counter depth refrigerators available on market. they bit more pricey then regular one but it is definitely worth it. there is difference between built in and counter depth. built in's are very expencivy, but free standing counter depth will work great as well.
check Kitchenaid, Frigidair or GE appliencies

Go counter depth for sure. While Wolf and Sub Zero would be wonderful, you can purchase counter depth at places like Best Buy and probably others as well for much less money. In my opinion, there is nothing worse in a kitchen than a refrigerater that looks like an elephant in the room!

Counter depth if at all possible. We advise clients if they think they need more room than that, to add an inexpensive beverage center to get some things out of the frig. or put an older one in the basement or garage or mudroom.

Agree with counter depth - and add refrigerator and freezer elsewhere!

Alternatively, you could recess your refrigerator into the wall, thus avoiding the additional cost of a counter depth style...

I would stick with a standard depth countertop. It is more standard to bump out the cabinetry with a surround around the fridge, than to get an expensive style one that fits a non-standard space. What do you think will last longer, the cabinets and countertops, or the fridge?

OK, here is your math:
standard size refrigerator is around $2000 about 26 cu + you will need to build cabinetry around it as "whiskeyrobot" is suggesting. cabinets will probably cost you about $1000 because cabinet makers do not exclude linear footage of fridge in their estimate.
counter depth refrigerators are around $3500 at 22cu, so in best case scenario you are saving $500 and will have bumped out fridge that is on the way of everything, however you may have about 4cu of more space in the fridge.
it is up to you.

I've rebuilt a couple of kitchens - medium grade. Bumped out the fridge. Thing is most people expect the bump and think nothing of it. A fridge is supposed to be rather large.

Go with the sub zero. You are going to live with it for a long time. It is the only one I use and recommend and I have never had a complaint. I even have a 30 year old one in the garage for flowers as it still works great. High end homes do not have bumped out refrigerators... Subzero also has a huge array of sizes from which to choose. If price is an issue, ask about the scratch and dent ones that have a boo boo where you will not see it. Hope this helps! :)

Both of the pictures presented by Whiskeyrobot appear to be Counter Depth refrigerators with 24" deep cabinetry around them. That is the beauty of counterdepth frig. If it were a standard depth frig. it would stick out about 6-8" more.

The images I posted are standard size fridges. Standard size refrigerators can run from 42" to 30". The difference between a 30" fridge and a counter-depth fridge @ 25" is only 5".

A quote from the original poster of one of the images linked: "You can save money but still get the built-in look by making the refrigerator cabinet 28-30" deep. In this case, we spec'd a mid-price point Amana SS refrigerator and splurged on a Viking duel fuel range."
