I'm a huge fan of the sled based flipover. I have a 3 man Clam flipover with a bench seat got it used off the sales page on this site a couple years back. It's older and heavier but works like a charm and is standing the test of time. I fished with my buddy a week last year in the newer clam two man flipover with bucket seats last year and it was also very nice. I also fished the Eskimo two man flipover last year and would say it's comparable to the clam.
My advice see if you can find something used and save yourself a bunch of money like I did. Also customizing your shanty is a nice way to make it your home on the ice. Things like LED light bars, magnetic dishes for holding jigs etc can make any shanty a lot nicer.
