I love the results from charcoal, but I just don't have the patience to wait for it to burn, and I hate having to clean up the ashes. I've found a pretty good middle ground. We bought a Weber Q100 portable propane grill for use on our boat, and we simply love it. It has a really heavy coated cast iron grate, which is so much better than the wire cooking surface found on most gas grills. It does a great job on a steak or a burger, and gives perfect grill marks. The problem with the portable model is that it has a single burner, so it's useless for indirect cooking foods like chicken or ribs. In the spring we are buying the full size version of this grill, the Q300, which has two burners and almost 400 square inches of cooking surface. It's easily the best cooking gas grill I've ever owned, and I've bought a lot of them.
