g'day panda,

if you go for electric and want quality then it will need to be the
top end, a bit hard to compare between the 2 realy, in the long run an
electric won't last as long as a good petrol model, but then if you
buy a lower end petrol model they don't last long along with being
unreliable and hard to start.

i generally recommend the straight shaft models of the petrol engine
models and usually engine capacity not below around 22cc, in the end
it comes down to brands the more common known brands are the hype
models their the names on every ones lips, like you think mowers you
think victas etc.,. and they can convert people by selling large
capacity models cheaper than the better brands, a trap for the unwary.

have a good look around your independent mower shops you will get
heaps of good info' most of the time.
