Electric when on-grid (pay per night camping). Propane when off-grid dry camping.
If you are running on a meter, then it becomes a math problem. Electrical: Wattage of heater, hours run per day, cost of a kilowatt/hr, determine a dollar amount for daily usage. Propane: Cost to fill the tanks, estimated days per tank, determine a dollar amount for daily usage. One will be cheaper. My bet is on electric will be cheaper.
Ultimately you need to plug in the numbers and do the math. It will be different for all of us.
