If Chicago is as warm as I think it is, I'd go with central if possible.
More efficient, quieter, more even temperatures in the house.
Where I live, it becomes marginal most years.  Normal summer we need AC
maybe five to 8 days and maybe an additional 10 nights in just the bedroom.
That makes window units far more economical compared to running a big
system.
