Oil; need tank, fill piping, clean and tunes, all fuel chimney or power vent, reliable deliveries, no spillage, erratic fuel prices. Large tank to go through a winters price rises is the only way to do it and fill up in the summer.
Gas used to be a bit cheaper, with deregulation all bets are off. Much cheaper to install. Less maintenance usually.
