Electric Shower or Shower off Combi?

Out of interest, which will be the cheapest to run....a 9.8Kw shower or a shower ran off a combi boiler?

The shower is used for about 45 mins a day.

    For sheer convenience I go with the expensive electric shower as I can shower when I like, just dont take the michael in there and it wont be costly. Plus they are easy to install/setup.

    45 minutes?

    Gas is much cheaper than electricity, around one third of the price.

    A 9.8kW shower costs about £1 an hour to run
