Thanks for all the replies. I'm not trying to cram a snake in too small of a space (maybe that comment wasn't directed at me). Space is not an issue at all.

And I realize I need to decide myself -- therefore that is why I was asking opinions -- so I could make an educated decision. I don't think I ever asked anyone to actually make the decision for me, did I?

Thanks for all the help!!

I think I will be going with a standard 41qt rack.
