If it's LP gas, oil is more likely to be a better deal (both subject to fluctuations of the international oil price), if it's natural gas, the gas may be a better deal since most of it is produced locally (N. America). There are numerous brands, some of the more well known ones are: Bryant, Carrier, Goodman. I think gas furnaces are easier to manage and maintain and less messy and stinky to clean up during service and operation. The fuel oil stinks (like diesel) and eventually someone spills some of it, making a mess of what ever area of the house it's in - the tanks also always end up being an issue. I have had two LP gas furnaces in my current home, an old 80% model and a newer variable speed / two stage heating model - the latter cut my LP bill in half - cant beleive I waited so long to replace it.
