Do gas. Its cheaper. You would have to run a wire for it probably and add a new breaker if you went electric. Thats around 150-200$ if you did it yourself.

Why replace?

A thermocouple costs literally $10 and is the number one cause of heater failures.

Most things that go wrong in a gas furnace are very easy to replace.
Worst case scenario the gas solenoid control goes out and that's like $80.

Brands don't really matter.
