Always had lay flat (2 x400). Thought I always liked them, but I've just  realised that I don't. They take up the whole of the floor space so you have to lift everything up higher to get it in the van on top of the tank.
Also, Cos the footprint area of the tank is bigger you get more sloshing around.
+ points, lower centre of gravity, weight is more evenly spread so its probably better for cornering.

if you have a lay flat tank in a small van it will distribute the weight evenly so you can have a bigger tank.
