Gold Standard For Mounted Feeder and Waterer?

[ChrisDPT]

I just spent a small fortune having a custom 6x12 coop/run combo built. The ladder up to the hen house takes up a bit of real estate in the run, and so does the 18"x18" bamboo planter I added in there for the hens. At this point I'm thinking a mounted feeder and waterer might make sense just to clear up some floor space in the run. Is there a consensus gold standard feeder and/or waterer to fit that need if money were of no issue (I'm not wealthy by any stretch, but I'm already in this deep). I've seen some use hanging feeders and waterers too. Pros/cons of those vs. mounted models?

Thanks so much in advance for any insight.

There is some information missing from your post.
Size of your flock.
Ages and sizes, of your chickens.

My reason for these questions; You may need multiple feed stations, not necessarily large, so that the lower tier chickens can get to eat easily. Water also should be in multiple location, especially for larger flocks.
You mention the ladder takes up space. But in reality, the space underneath ladder should be available to chicken movements.
Post some pictures, so we having a visual, can offer some additional suggestions.
