In practice, your running cost is usually driven less by the finish or door style and more by how you operate it:
Keep the condenser area clean (dust build-up forces the compressor to run longer).

Minimise door-open time at peak. If the door is opened constantly, set shelves for quick access so staff are not hunting for stock.
Avoid heat sources beside or behind the unit (glasswashers, hot lines, tight voids).
