Personally, I like the simplicity of a gas smoker. Set up at dawn & I don't have to attend it much during the day. Keeps things warm without overdoing the smoke.
I was in a very similar situation as you, actually. I started with a propane smoker so that I could more easily smoke overnight and not have to tend it. I now have a WSM, but I had the propane smokers for a few years before upgrading. The one I had was the Smoky Mountain Propane Smoker. I actually had two of them at one point.
My thoughts? The WSM (wood/charcoal) puts out better meat and maintains temperatures easier than the SM smokers did, but the ease of propane was quite nice. It has a wood box in it so you do actually get smoke flavor (although perhaps not as much). And being vertical meant I could do quite a bit at a time.
Overall I think they can do a very good job, but may not be quite as good as wood/charcoal. Obviously that is an opinion and YMMV, but those are my 2 cents.
I bought a Landmann used last summer and so far it's working like a champ. I did build a little hut for it to help it out in the cold, otherwise, I've got no complaints.
