Full slab foundation or crawl space

I am putting in a new kitchen that requires a new foundation.
My choice is a 3 sided footing or a full slab. I have to close up a basement window for the full slab foundation or the window would be my access to the crawl space. The foundation would be 3 feet deep and flush up to the existing foundation. Which is better?

Thanks,
Joe

Re: Full slab foundation or crawl space

How big is this existing basement window? A standard 32x16?
By slab do you mean that just flat concrete with no foundation or a concrete floor in your new crawl space?
