Ist Time Switching help

I'm moving into a new property for the 1st time and am confused with all these tariffs.

I have 2 quotes I'm mulling over:

NPower - capped
Gas
6.38 KWH
2.195 above 4572
Elec
14.02 KWH
12.90 KWH
+ free boiler cover

When I phoned ScottishPower they have quoted fixed till March 2011
Gas 2.4 KWH (9.9 standing charge per day - basically £3 per month)
Elec 10.5 KWH (11.2 standing charge per day - basically £3.50 per month)

Am I missing something very obvious or is the Scottish Power one vastly superios to anything else?

Thanks and sorry for being a bit stupid first time round.

I'm guessing the NPower offer is a non-standing charge tariff.

ScottishPower also offer non-standing charge tariffs, but unit prices will be higher than those quoted for a standing charge tariff. (or at least they will have a 2 tier system like npower quoted)

So the standing charge isn't necessarily a bad thing then? £3 doesn't seem like a huge amount to be paying for cheaper rates.

Scottish power cap ''too late'' Good value N Power capped to January 2011
