http://www.trails.com/facts_40026_stoves-propane-vs-liquid-fuel.html

 

Types

Liquid fuel camp stoves are available in single-burner backpacking stoves and large two-burner tabletop camp stoves. Propane stoves are available as single-burner backpacking stoves, integrated stove systems like Jetboil, and two-burner stoves.

Efficiency

Liquid fuel stoves outperform propane stoves, especially in colder weather. Propane stoves are less efficient when they are low on fuel, whereas liquid stoves perform well down to the last drop of fuel.

Weight

Propane backpacking stoves tend to be lighter in weight than liquid fuel stoves. Two-burner camp stoves are around the same weight regardless of fuel type.

Safety

Propane canister stoves are easier to use than liquid fuel stoves. Liquid fuel stoves need to be primed in order to light so they require some fiddling with an unstable flame.

Environmental Impact

Propane fuel canisters are disposable and can be difficult to recycle. According to REI, liquid fuel stoves create less waste and have less environmental impact.

Gas (propane) is cleaner and easier to get going - a match or a spark and the stove is going. However gas bottles might not always be available and is more expensive than a liquid fuel. 

Liquid fuels have 2 types of burning, pressurised and not. Pressurised stoves need a little practise to use quickly and well in adverse conditions, unpressurised only have a limited capacity for fuel in the burner meaning you might have to have 2 burners to keep cooking (you have to wait for them to cool before refilling you see). 

Gas stoves can be smaller and lighter. 

Its all what you want to do and how long you are going for. Personally in the UK I would take gas - my trips up to a week long and gas is OK with 1 bottle. If I was going overseas I would consider liquid multifuel stove because I know there is more chance of getting the fuel. 

What type of backpacking are you going to do and how long will you be going for? Can you get propane and liquid fuel in your local town - that will make a difference too.

Gas stoves are nice you can refill just before you go with the propane/butane tanks you don't know how much you have so you take an extra tank,more weight not good. a gas stove should be good for 3-5 cooking hrs. more than enough for a weekend backing trip.I did 10 days with 9 other people at Philmont back country and had a pint fuel bottle for refilling and came back with some fuel in the bottle and a full stove.
