Sal_11,
I've been flying electrics and glow since March, and soloed my LT-40 in early June. While I like both, supporting both types of airplanes can get very expensive.
If you are looking at electrics, try this site:

It is very "in" to electric flying. RCUniverse is much more into glow.
Keep in mind that some people (gasp) never fly glow planes and are quite happy.
My point is to not let the glow-bias around here make your decision for you.
