nitro has the cool factor for sure.

brushless is clean and easy, i dont want to tune the motor more than once.

both types will provide more performance than you will ever need in a rc vehicle.

i went electric because the local track is electric only, and the nitro i did have made me want to give up when i couldnt get it to run. than messed it up more heh. not anoying neighbours at night, and using the track is good enough to make me buy electric. plus i hate the oil that gets everywhere with nitro cars. love the smell, dont like oil. i ran in my back yard a little rich one day, my dogs feet got oiled.
