For me, it's a no-brainer - Electric
I have yet to ride in anyone's gas cart that I think is better than my electric. The issues of noise, smell, and smoothness of the acceleration both forward and reverse make the electric far superior to me. However, I am located centrally in the Villages at this point (Haciendas of Mission Hills), so the trip is shorter end-to-end than if I was living way north/south/west.
I bought a 2008 Club Car DS with a 4x12 setup and converted to 8x6 for maximum range. I cannot imagine I would ever want to drive more than 35-40 miles in a day anyway, so I'm comfortable that electric is the way to go...for me. Most of my new neighbors have bought gas, and they seem just as comfortable that gas is the way to go...for them!
So far in my weekly golf group, the only person who couldn't use their cart that day was a guy who didn't have enough gas in his cart...so gas is not infallible when it comes to range...
