Well, the exoterra/zoo-med type cages look real killer when you line a shelf or wall with them, but I firmly believe the Barrs cages are probably the best cages available when it comes to ATBs for a lot of different reasons.
A while back I contacted Andy Barr about buying the arboreal cages by the dozen. He was more than willing to off a price break for anything over 1/2 dozen. I never followed up on that. I later picked up on Zoo-Med at a local show just to try it, and went back for more. The guy at the show sells them new, still in the box for a real nice price. My buddy owns a shop and he can order directly from his supplier and beats the guy at the show's price pretty drastically, so that's the route I'll be taking.
If I fill two walls with Zoo-Meds, it'll look real nice, cost much less, but the downside is they'll be slightly less functional than Barrs. In a perfect world, I'd go with Barrs or Visions caging 
I'm currently using a lot of these modified storage shelves, they're a bit smaller than I'd like for adults, I'll probably move them to a spare room for raising up holdbacks or for qurantine cages.
