I can only provide you with a partial list and strongly recommend that you do 
some research on your own.  You can find basic information about refrigeration 
in 'Perry's Chemical Engineers' Handbook' or more specifics in other texts 
dedicated to refrigerants.  Your local public or university library will be able 
to help you find the necessary references for a more detailed analysis.  A 
search of the internet will also provide you with a wealth of links on the 
subject.

To get you started, some of the things you will have to take into consideration 
will inevitably include:
  the total load (how cold do you need to get)
  temperature of the refrigerant
  what kind of energy you will be using
  characteristics of your condensing media
  how much space you have to work with
  health/safety hazards associated with the refrigerant
  your budget (both investment and daily operating)
  reliability of different equipment
  disposal concerns and expense
  etc.

Lots to think about...  Good luck with your research!

Kieran
