Should I buy the Large(18x18x36) or Xl(18x18x48). I have a female veiled that is getting close to 6 months

Bigger is better. If you can afford the bigger one then get the bigger one. She will be just fine in the 18x18x36.

My girl is 6 months old and I am soon going to invest in the 24x24x48". My reasoning is not only is bigger better, but since her egg laying bin takes up so much space there will be more room for perches and plants. Much easier for her to get around if it's not so crowded.

Either size will be fine though.
Go with the extra-large (24x24x48). You will not regret going larger, but many people regret not going large enough. A female veiled can get sizable. Both you and your chameleons will be much happier with the XL

Even if you think the cham's adult size would work in the smaller cage, consider that larger spaces mean larger sturdier plants, more room for roaming, for basking areas, retreat areas, more choices your cham will have while moving around during its life. I always go larger and don't regret it when I see a healthy cham living its life.

I like Exo Terra's new sizes and I am very pleased with the over all quality of mine so far (the old Exo Terra screen cages were really flimsy but the new design is very nice). There is a 24 x 18 x 36 and a 36 x 18 x 36 which to me are very nice compromises giving more horizontal space for the dollar than any other manufacturer.
I would steer clear of the reptibreeze as they are no longer the only viable choice out there and my last few reptibreeze enclosures just didn't hold up well to time.
For the standard size enclosures The Dragon Strand Cages will be of top quality and have many really cool features but will cost a bit more for the size if you have time to order a cage and money isn't tight I would 100% order form them (the owner will probably listen to you if you have any problems at all which is also good). .
There are several other brands out there but I'm not familiar enough to make and intelligent comments on them.
In my opinion size shouldn't be your only concern when selecting an enclosure. I think it is important but build quality should also be huge, there is nothing worse than keeping your beautiful chams in a flimsy rusty cage...
