It mainly comes down to temperature consistency, recovery speed, and how you load the fridge.

Ventilated (fan-assisted) cooling (e.g. Unifrost R200SV / R200SVN / R200SVNOG) circulates cold air for more even temperatures and typically faster pull-down and recovery after frequent door opening. This suits busy service and frequent access.

Static cooling (e.g. Unifrost R200SN / R200SNOG) cools more gently, which can suit quieter kitchens or situations where you want less air movement. You may notice more natural temperature variation from top to bottom, so good organisation and not overfilling matters.

If your unit is opened constantly during service, a ventilated model is usually the safer choice for maintaining stable chilled conditions.
