Oil has a higher vaporization temperature. Less likely to fill up your house with explosive vapors than gas. But this also makes them harder to get going, since you have to preheat the fuel. Just like the old white gas camp stoves.

Batteries are nice, but can't be refueled in a power outage. Liquid fuel is cheaper and much more power dence. Hence easier to store.

Small lp bottles are a nice compromise. Three small camp stove bottles Kept us in hot food for a week in 2012. Propane Lantern outlasted the batteries too.
