Gas is more economical and quicker to heat, but since you don't have a gas line hookup, it's a moot point. Electric is reliable, but more expensive. If you have a small home, the difference will be nominal. If you have a large home, the difference will be significant.

A point to remember is that electric is not that environmentally freindly. You burn fossil fuel to make heat to drive turbines to make electricity, and then make the electricity back into heat. Much more energy is wasted in this process than cutting out the middle man and just using the heat produced by the burning fuel.
