More effective at low temperatures maybe. More efficient, no.
There are ways to heat 100% electrically without the cheap heat system while preventing plumbing freeze up while NOT disabling the propane furnace. For me, that is a deal breaker on cheap heat. They could fix it, if they wished, but they don't.

I'd probably go with the Cheap Heat option. I think it would be just as, or more, efficient that the heat pump
Not as efficient in terms of watts converted to BTUs, but more efficient in terms of constant heat output as ambient temperatures fall and heat pump heat outputs drop.
