For convenience, electric planes, with brushless/LiPo power systems win IMO. However, the cost of the larger electrics, and enough battery packs for 4-6 flights without recharging, gets to be a bit much though.

I've got several nitro planes, and right now I've just got a few smaller electrics. The Parkzone F27C Stryker is my favorite so far. It weighs less than two pounds, will do 60-80mph, and can fly in 25mph winds if you want it to. I've got two of these Strykers and 9 LiPo packs for them, so I can go to the field anytime I want and get up to 9 flights in before I call it a day (and usually 6 flights is plenty for me).

Sure glow sounds cool, but I care more about how they fly than how they sound! For now, I've got several glow planes and helis, and about 17 gallons of glow fuel, so I figure I'll use up my fuel (and maybe some of my planes) before I start converting over to all electric.
