It's all down to personal preferance, Each have there strengths/weaknesses when it comes to choosing Nitro or Electric.

I prefer Nitro, I dont mind the noise (enjoy it actually :D ) & i dont wanna be carrying a bag of batteries if i go off somewhere. Although the name "Nitro" to some of you is summit that is highly flammable, its not as flammable as some of you might think, When you buy nitro for a truck/car etc it contains a % of nitro (between 10 - 20%)..the rest is oil/additives which are not highly flammable... Nitro is no where near as flammable as normal petrol/gas.

But even so, it is still flammable, so common sense will go a long way! ...eg: Hanging over your fuel tank/bottle wit a ciggy hanging out ya gob is NOT a bright idea ;)

In saying this i no longer run Nitro's, Ive moved to large scale gas, Nitro was good while it lasted :) ...but with gas theres no fiddly tuning of the carb, once its set it's done no matter what the conditions, alot more power from a 26cc engine than any nitro engine & nothing better than watching a 1/6 scale rip up the dirt! :D

But like i said, its all down to personal pref, what might be your idea of "the best" is someone elses "worse" :)
