Well, firstly is the height, width. Do you really need a 42u rack? You mentioned you only need 22u. If I was in your shoes, and If if I had the space for 42u, I'd get the 42u because I might add extra equipment later down the line.

First of all Comic Sans died out almost a decade ago.  Embrace Arial.

 

If you have the space for a 42u rack, get the extra space. It will allow you to expand in the future and you can space out your components if you need extra airflow.  Floor racks don't need to be mounted to the basement wall, that's another bonus.
