Anyone have any pros or cons on a vertical barrel type sprayer vs. a horizontal one?

I guess my only concern would be the withdrawl location. If it is in the bottom there is no problem. If it is in the top you could encounter problems getting the pump primed. It looks like the pump they are using is a small roller pump. Be sure that there is a screen ahead of the pump, roller pumps are not very tolerant of FM in the spray material.

dad used one for years, had 2 mounted on the back of a vac case, and yes...it was a pain to keep them primed! the slosh was smaller tho!
