I would suggest going with the electic. I had a friend that lost his workshop after knocking over a can of paint thinner. The fumes ignited within a matter of minutes from the open flame of his heater as he was cleaning it up. He lost everything including his occupation stemming from the cabinet shop he had just opened. He had to return, hat in hand to his former employer and ask for his old job back.

Granted, he should have instantly turned off the pilot light but evidentily he had other things on his mind. I didn't ask those kind of questions since I assumed it was one of those things he didn't particularily want to discuss since of course, everyone could see what should have been done after the fact. It was all too late seconds after the blast. He never had a chance to even slow down the flames. He just barely escaped with his life. If you have children or someone else who could be in there the danger only increases for the likelihood of such and event or worse tradgedy to occur.
