If you're learning to cook then go for the electric option, the elements (is that what they're called?) are on the sides which makes for easier cooking (something about the heat being better spread out), plus they usually have a grill feature (elements at the top as well).
If you're experienced, the gas will work just as well for you, maybe even better once you get used to it. And the gas is cheaper for frequent use.
Better to ask the question and look like a fool for a moment, than to remain in ignorance and be a fool forever.
