Well it depends what you want out of it. If you mean the environment then definintly go with solar panels. But if you are looking for more power than gas is the way to go.
Also consider financial costs and what you can afford. Solar panels will be more expensive upfront, but long-term should work out cheaper (dependent on your location of course.

To do an accurate assessment you have to know the cost of you electricity and the cost of natural gas in your area. To find these values ask your utility company and the gas company and do the number crunching your self. If you ask each company what is best you can guess what the answer would be since they are both in the market of selling. You will need to obtain an electrical meter that will totalize the on time that the tank operates. For an electrical tank, take your cost per kilowatt hour and multiply it by the time your tank operates over a set period of time. For a gas hot water tank find out from the manufacturer what the consumption of gas is over an hour period. Use these two results to make an accurate comparison.
