A lot of this depends on your lifestyle.

We have a Subzero Pro 48” at the farmhouse and Monogram columns at my residence. The Subzero has a larger freezer capacity but it doesn’t really change anything for us. We don’t go to the deep freeze any more often with one than the other.

Having said that, our deep freeze is for long-term or bulk food storage and our freezer is for short-term storage. We generally don’t keep anything in our freezer that we aren’t going to use in the next week. So, there is plenty of capacity in either for us.

My favorite setup was what I did in my previous house. SZ columns with 36" fridge and 24" freezer (note both doors are hinged on the left, which worked best with the kitchen layout).

In the current house I didn't want to spend as much and kids had left the house, so i went with the 42" SZ french-door. They now offer a 48" french-door which I would have picked over the 42". I also have a cheaper 30" FD fridge in the laundry as I feed my dogs raw food, so that freezer drawer holds about a months worth of frozen dog food.

I hate, hate, hate any fridge in the 48" side-by-side size. The fridge is too narrow and the freezer is too narrow. I had that size before I remodeled in the previous house.

You have a ref and freezer elsewhere. No need to oversize this ref. I personally do not like a side-by-side so I would do the french door. Growing up, we were lucky to have a full 30" wide ref! Somehow it works. I would not give up counterspace for a monstrous ref. I am also the type of person who has mostly fresh food and will stop at the grocery store twice a week if needed.

Good luck!

IMO SZ is a huge expense for no reall reason I have had for the last 18 yrs a fridgedaire all fridge all freezed colums with a buitli kit not one service call enough space for my ctaering biz I ran from home . Both 30" and honestly in NA where grocery stores are everywhere I have never understood wh you do not shop more often and have fresh stuff always.
