Since price is an important consideration, and it's a rental and you're going to leave it behind, I have a suggestion. One that I wouldn't otherwise make. But it's based on personal experience and I'm gonna tell you like it is.
I just helped a friend put this in her bar, like a few weeks ago:
http://www.homedepot.com/p/Glacier-...cy-Elongated-Toilet-in-White-N2428E/204074796 I think it might be perfect for you. It works well, and it's the higher-height.
I had to drive to another Home Depot because they didn't have it in my nearest store (and it doesn't even show up as an option on the screen if it isn't in the local store). It's one of those "complete" kits, where the seat is kind of cheap and the wax ring they give you isn't going to be thick enough unless you have a flange that is at the perfect height and the closet bolt set is kind of cheap.
But for $98, I have been impressed. She didn't want to spend a lot of money because the last one lasted less than a year before someone smashed it. The last one was the previous version of this model, and because they sell whatever comes in from the container from China or wherever, the product had changed so I had to replace the whole toilet rather than just the tank which was smashed; the tank and bowl bolts weren't in even close to the same place. But, again, $98 is cheap enough that we really didn't care.
Here's my take on it: It flushes remarkably-well and has decent bowl wash. The trapway design appears to be decent, as it quietly and effectively sucks the waste from the bowl. The fit and finish on the one that I bought was perfectly-acceptable, and the quality and thickness of the china was more than I would expect for $99. The guts in the tank (meaning the fill valve and flapper) are decent enough. (Remember to read the instructions, which will tell you things like to remove the little rubber band they put on the flapper to keep it from, well, flapping, during transport.) I'm not a fan of that fill valve in her application, where it gets flushed a lot every day, because I think it's going to wear out pretty fast, but a more robust fill valve is like $10 at Home Depot, so who cares. We can replace it in two minutes if and when it quits, and so far it's fine. (The earlier one had a Fluidmaster 400A in it, which is a decent, common one used in the business. Or maybe the contractor who installed it had the same reaction that I did and swapped out the fill valve preemptively...I don't know.) The toilet will happily take standard fill valves and flappers from Korky or another good manufacturer, so when and if you need a new one of either, you can get it at Lowe's or Home Depot or your local hardware store or online.
As far as ease of installation, the tank-to-bowl bolts were already installed and set up to be double-nutted, which is the correct way to do it. (I.e. rubber washer inside the tank, nut and metal washer securing the bolt to the outside of the tank; you leave them alone and put the bolt through the base and secure it with the second metal washer and second nut from the little plastic bag they give you.) The base required a little shimming in the rear so it didn't rock, but I think that was a function of the floor more than the build of the toilet. Attaching the tank to the base was standard, and by tightening down with the proper-size deep ratchet, a little on each side, back and forth until just before the porcelain touched, I got that tank on nice and tight with no rocking on the first try. The design under the bowl is such that you really want to use a ratchet and not try to use pliers, because it's not easy to get in there and turn with them.
For your rental home, I think it should all work perfectly-well. You really can't go wrong with this, and you likely will be very happy with it.
You might want to swap the seat from your old Crane if you like it, or put $20-ish towards a nice Mayfair or Bemis seat. The holes for the seat bolts are in a standard setup, so it will take any standard seat from any manufacturer. But try out the one that comes with it first; it seems kind of flimsy but it's perfectly-comfortable. And it hasn't broken yet in the bar's abusive environment. You will probably also need at least one more wax ring (they are stackable) or an extra-thick one. (We recommend if you're stacking that you use at most one with the little plastic spigot in it and the rest without; put the one with the spigot on the top because it holds itself in place a little better.) But maybe you will luck out and your flange will be at the perfect height.
If you're installing it yourself, you might think about this Korky waxless seal, which means that you won't usually need to stack the seals and more importantly if you want to pull the bowl back up to realign it or shim it or something, you won't have to scrape off the wax and go get a couple more wax rings.
http://www.homedepot.com/p/Korky-WaxFREE-Seal-Kit-6000BM/205616926 The Sani-Seal is also good, but you may need two if your flange top is lower than the floor level.
You also want to caulk around the bowl, either all the way around or leaving the back open and caulking 3 sides. We recommend a little tube of Polyseamseal for this; it comes up cleaner than standard waterproof caulk. You can put a nice thick bead around the base, really getting it in the crack, and then smooth with the little finger tool or something with an edge on it, for a nice-looking installation.
Given that the last one was working just fine before somebody smashed it, and this one has worked very well for over a month, with no clogging that I'm aware of, in a pretty-demanding application, I can tell you that it's going to be a big improvement over your Crane and a good value.
And it looks nice. So that would be my recommendation for your application. If you were going to keep it longer in a purchased home, I would recommend one that's a little more expensive that you might be happier with for a longer run, but I would feel dumb spending the extra money and then leaving it behind. (As to longevity of quality porcelain, we have one toilet from 1927 and a couple from the mid-50s that still look nice and work fine, albeit at the expense of extra water usage; if we were in an area were drought were a factor, I would replace them on principle, but we're not. We had three that did need to be replaced at various times in the past few years, the most-used ones, and I put in three Totos, which should last decades.)
In the end, I really can say from direct personal experience, that that particular Glacier Bay is a fine toilet for the price, and candidly a nice toilet at any price.
