I live rural, and I am all electric. My energy costs are much cheaper than all of my neighbors (they are propane).
Propane and Natural gas have shot up in price to being stupidly expensive, plus all of my rooms in my house have
baseboard heat with a thermostat in each room so you have zone control
opposed to 1 thermostat for the whole house. The only rooms I heat are the living-room and kitchen, the
bedrooms are all shutoff and a bit cooler which is nice for sleeping.
Winter humidity is controlled by venting the clothes dryer into the house (filter
screen captures the lint). Another benefit is my sinuses don't get all dried out
because of a forced air furnace.
The downside is I don't have ductwork, so for air conditioning I have to use window units.
For me, electric is best. Just make sure you own a generator
