I go cage free organic when I can, and have also heard the fertilized eggs are even better for raw consumption/health. I have never eaten the 'pasturized' ones, figure that defeated the purpose.
I can usually get fertilized eggs from a friend here at work who has chickens (not technically organic, but great little farm with super happy chickens), or through the farm I get my raw milk from who also usually has eggs.
The more raw eggs I eat, the more I tend to shop at local small farms, to be sure I am getting them from a clean and healthy enviroment, no overcrowding. I can drive around the country areas near town, and there are always signs 'eggs for sale' around the farms.
I have eaten raw eggs off and on for over 5 years now, never a problem. Some folks say to wash the shells, as they carry the most 'bacterial' risk, but I never have. If you are going to consume shells, would say scrub scrub before consuming.
