Most houses are equipped with lektrik but seldom gas.Not supposed to can with a glass top but you do what you gotta do.
 Gas is more reliable of course in case of power outage.
 What do you use?

I've used both.  Had a glass top electric back in Nebraska, worked fine, other than being slow to heat.  Never had a problem with the canner.  Have gas now, much better for everything!

  Some people say you can not use cast iron on a glass top.  Our glass top has never had any other type of fry pan on it.

LP gas. 
 I've used lots of electric stoves including high end glass tops and, compared to gas, they all suck.
 
 The heat from a gas range can be regulated better and faster than any electric range.
 
 Watch any cooking show, nearly all use gas. Most pro chefs prefer gas as well.
 
 Eh...wot?

Propane here. I’ve canned on electric before. I can’t imagine how it could be bad to can on electric. Boiling water is boiling water, doesn’t matter where the heat came from

Natural gas, can't stand an electric stove. Most people out here have either natural gas or propane
