Make/model of combi, what is the mains pressure like, how far away is the consumer unit, how old is nthe combi.

Do you want a back-up when the boiler breaks down.

I'm gonna move this post to the plumbing.

Both can give you a good shower, so really a question of do you want a back-up.

Electric can be more expensive to install, depending on how long the cable has to be, if cost is an issue.

Combi you can Diy, electric needs to be installed and signed off.

I've always been a Mira fan, but see what the other have to say.

I think Plumbworld have some very good prices at the moment.
