Which is better for a commercial building?

It depends on roof access, existing equipment, indoor space, service access, zoning needs, business disruption, and long-term maintenance.

Can I replace a rooftop unit with a split system?

Sometimes, but it depends on the building, ductwork, electrical setup, access, and installation requirements.

Should my existing system type determine the replacement?

It matters, but it should not be the only factor. Comfort, efficiency, serviceability, and building layout should also be reviewed.
