Price is a local issue depending on your utility companies. However, in tems of efficiency it's got to be electric as all of the heat in the element is converted to heat in the water and less is then lost to the surroundings through the wall of the kettle than getting a flame to externally heat the kettle. The combined cycle of the gas-electricity cycle means it would still probably be more efficient to convert the gas to electricity in an efficient electricity company generator station and then to use the resultant electricity in a home.
This can be shown quite easily- put your hand over an electric kettle and feel the excess heat being given off. Now try to do that over a gas kettle!
