I've used both for a long time, there are clear pros and cons for electric, induction and gas.

electric - cheap up front, costly to run in KWH, has the advantage of being able to use incredibly low heat for simmers and such
induction - fast to boil water and liquids because the heat goes to the liquid inside the pan directly which is why its called induction, it makes a more efficient use of electric because it goes straight to your pan and you lose no heat in between, beyond that it is a fucking meme, not worth extra investment if you already have electric, you also lose the ability to do low heat simmers
gas - cheap to buy, cheap to run, you dont have the incredibly low heat from the electrics for simmer either, but you can go much higher heat than electric can ever offer you, plus the heat control is immediate and when you turn it down it goes down right then, you dont have to play with the lag on temperature control.
