The propane burner assembly is more complicated than the electric heater (which is just a resistor), and the electronic propane control and ignition system is far more complex than the couple of switches (plus a relay if you have added a 12V switch for the electric side) of the electric control system, so I wouldn't assume that the propane would be more reliable.
I like the idea of the electric heating function as a backup.
