We've just built a new home and we got a gas hob and electric oven.  It is the 
first time I have had a gas hob, and I wouldn't go back to electric now.  We 
bought one with a flame failure device, that turns the gas off if the flame 
gets accidentally extinguished (we live on a hill, and get lots of breezes in 
the kitchen/family room).  This is a good safety feature, but it does mean it 
can take about 10 seconds to light the flame in order for the sensor to heat 
up.
I have never had a gas oven so I can't comment on them, but electric is good.
Kathy.
