We recently purchased a new home and the basement is quite cool as the heat rises. We want to purchase a fireplace/mantel package but we’re not sure which way is best. It would be simpler to purchase an electric one, but would gas be better in the long run? Which is going to heat the basement more efficiently? It’s approximately 1700 sq. ft. and we already have a gas furnace. Any suggestions?

It all depends on how much electricity or gas cost in your area.
Advantage of electric is you do not need a vent vs gas which needs an exhaust to dispose of the burned gas.
Advantage of gas is you still have a fireplace when there is a storm and power goes out, but you can always buy a portable kerosene heater.
I found this article which will help you decide.

It probably be electric or gas any of those could potentially be the best.
Since you have a gas furnish then do the same thing in the basement all you need to do is put a new line goes to the basement and your done.Gas is better than electric but this will depend on your location some area gas is so expensive than the electric.So if the Gas in your area is in reasonable price then go for GAS
