Split type is nice when new, when it starts leaking then you'll wish you got a window type. Cleaning is also more expensive and a major hassle. The advantage of being silent is appreciated only if you live in an area far from noise or your house is built with sound proof walls and windows.

Window type is cheaper, easier to clean and easier to replace. When the time comes, it will only take less than a day to replace it. Another advantage of split type is if you have several units in your house, you can swap them. Useful when the main unit breaks down.
