Propane vs Electric Heating

So I know this will vary widely by location, but I live in Southern California and I'm curious to know which would be the more cost effective solution. Electricity out here is expensive, but I think propane is too. Does anyone out here in SoCal have any experience with both that can shed some light on the cost of each? If it's about the same, I'll probably invest in some space heaters so I don't have to lug the tank to refill so often.
  • we're always on hookups so we mainly heat with electric...fireplace and a small portable space heater. we have a new heated mattress pad for cool nights. we don't usually use the rooftop heat pumps due to the noise. other than the first few nights of our snowbird trek we avoid traveling in very cold weather.
