Hi Lucie,
We use both rack systems in our Revcos but find the front sliding access 
are really useful and has significantly increased our freezer box 
organization....no sliding-sticking problems.
My only issue is these racks come in a huge frame that occupies the 
complete shelf space.....leaving no space for non-boxed stuff (bottles, 
specimen bags, etc). So, we have dedicated two shelves to these front 
sliding racks and other two have the side racks and oddball stuff.
Hope this helps.
