My experience is that overhead trays are not better. We have rooms with 
only raised floors, and one with both. You definitely need a raised floor 
for a data center. You need it for forced air cooling and for running the 
water and condensate pipes. And overhead trays are much more difficult to 
work with if you want to lay new cables because you have to climb up and 
down the ladder all the time, moving the ladder from here to there and 
back to here...
