The nice thing about having gas is if you prefer electric you can easily change over with an all electric home you cannot change over to gas without burying a propane tank which costs from what I was told near $5,000.00. As far as cooking everyone has a preference one or the other, we prefer gas and would never want another electric stovetop but the other side would never want gas again. Cost wise I doubt if there is much difference as the utilities are inexpensive here at least compared to where we came from so I wouldn't let cost come into the picture. One more thing, without a hot water tank you get extra closet space in your garage furnace room which really comes in handy.
