Gas fire is much cheaper to run than electric. Plus electric fireplaces do not get as hot as gas fireplaces do which, in turn, does not heat a room faster.. Gas fireplaces MAY require a little bit of maintenance (cleaning soot off the logs, the soot coming from burning natural gas) compared to no maintenance of electric (unless the heat element goes out). Gas logs sets usually start at $49.99 and can go as high as $599 ( I haven't seen anything higher, unless its a 40"+ log set ).
Go with gas. Its more decorative, heats faster, and costs less.
