I don't know. I think the best kind is the one that doesn't have to come on very often
 I'm using a drop in myself just for simplicity of plumbing and less potential for leaking issues. The less potential nightmares the better. That's my philosophy

I like the inline. However if its going to sit on carpet, you will need to lift it off the floor. If the fan on the bottom of the unit doesn't get good air flow you will fry the chiller out. I had it happen.
I now have a cheep crate that it sits on & even have a little fan blowing air at the fan. I'm building a nice wood stand to match the wood color of my desk.

One thing to consider is that chillers will add heat to your room, might want to see if clip on fans help first -- plus it is a cheaper solution.
