I have owned both and either is fine. You can make either one work well for you. Current cart is a gas Yamaha quiet tech. We have two carts and use them a lot. If you play golf there will be a championship course that is far enough away that you may wonder, can i get there, play 18 and get back? For me it's Belle Glade and the soon to be built one South of the turnpike. Electric maybe, gas no problem.

Cost per mile to drive is supposed to be slightly higher with electric when you factor in battery replacement. Not really sure, but again I would not let that sway my decision.

Probable your best option is to find a decent used cart and use it for a year and then you will know how much you use it and can make a better decision. You can always sell the used one no matter which you buy.

One observation. I have towed 6 carts home for folks who's cart died on the road. 5 electric and one gas. Small sample and probably user error for not plugging them in, but there seem to be more electrics that die than gas.
