Impact wrenches Air vs. electric?

Guys, Evren is cleaning up all the engine pieces, in disassembly mode after a breakdown. Waynes engine book says an impact wrench, either electric or air should be used in conjunction with the snap-on stud remover tool. So, is electric okay for a hobbyist wrench? Just how much better is air? Neither of us have used an impact wrench of any kind, so suggestions welcomed. We know air is best for a pro, but can an amateur do okay with electric?
