A front loader’s washing action of constantly tumbling the laundry is the best at getting clothes clean since they move the water through the clothes the best. Top load with an agitator is next, but just a little tougher on the clothes than a top loader with no agitator would be last in cleaning action. Repair wise I would give that to a top loader as it is easier to remove the panels to work on it as well parts are more accessible and cost less too.
