Most of the commercially available rack systems can work quite nicely. Honestly you can also construct racks which work equally well yourself. Having said that for my money the VISION racks are the way to go. When you consider cost, functionality, weight and mobility I have found nothing better. I have 20 vision racks in 3 different sizes that I have been using for the past year (I also have 8 other racks - 3 different manufacturers). In my opinion the Vision racks offer several advantages and I really haven't found a disadantage unless you want to compare cost with a home-made rack (which in my opinion is really as great as you might think when you consider everything).
Vision racks provide better humidity and sheds than open top racks, but not too much as can be the case with some enclosed racks. I have also found that enclosed racks are harder to maintain the temp gradients which I prefer. The cb70 size racks are great for adults. I have had superior results cycling females using them. The hatchling racks are FANTASTIC and far superior to anything I have used in the past. The babies eat better and just seem to do better in them, and the trays are big enough to accomodate them up to 600-700 grams. I have found the guys at vision to be very accomodating and provide great customer service.
