If you have a fairly new washing machine, what is it and do you like it?
I have heard the following benefits/drawbacks to both types.
Have you tried both types?
Preference?
I think it just comes down to you get what you pay for.
If you get a good top or side loader, it will work well.
Top Loading
Cheaper, more tried and true
Less efficient, less capacity
Side Loading
Better efficiency, less water, less rough on clothing, more capacity
Mold smell? More expensive.
