I've got an electric one.

I have an electric smoker which works very well.If you are only going to use it around the house you can not beat it.

what are you gonna smoke ; I mean how much? that is what make the desision.
I have an electric one for ribs,hams,small turkeys and such.
fo my sasuage I have a large one with wood for the heat.it will hold around 200 lbs. of sasuage.

Both electric and gas work equally well ,
the electric one would be cheaper to operate .
I have a new one that runs on either charcoal or propane that replaces my old charcoal model .

we have an electric unit for the Sausage Maker and it works great. It's ~2'x2'x3', insulated, and can smoke ~20# of sausage. cost abot $260 I think.

I guess I'm the oddball. Been smoking food for 25 years, and I prefer gas over electric. A good entry model smoker can be had from smokey mountain for about $120. It'll do about 40# meat if situated properly. I do about 50 turkeys a year, and this model works well for that. taz

I have an electric and love it. The only complaint I have (and don't know if this would hold true for gas), is not being able to regulate the temp. Whatever you do, buy one with a thermostat.

I also prefer gas to electric. As somebody mentioned a good starter unit is the smokey mountain smoker, I know a number of guys who have bought this unit and it seems to work really good for the investment required!
