Even though I don’t generally recommend a detolf for Syrians I’d still go with it over a plaza/Alexander/Barney for what it’s worth.
The shallow height of the detolf doesn’t mean that much since you can still get less bedding in any of the barred cages than a detolf unless you make some modifications.
The larger floor space is definitely a big bonus too, personally I don’t think a plaza provides the floor space I’d want for a Syrian.
It also comes down to what you think of bars and access - yes the front door of a plaza might be nice but I would still say access in a detolf is better, you’re rarely entering the cage from directly above since it’s so long.
