Coil or Glass Top Stove for Updated Property in Good Area?

I recently purchased a duplex in a nice neighborhood of Puyallup, within a few minutes of South Hill, and have been remodeling the property. It will be fully remodeled by the time I move out and rent it out, but I am not sure whether or not to replace the old appliances with a glass top or coil top electric stove. Some of my thoughts: Maintenance wise a coil top stove would be the better option for a rental. However, the property will be fully updated (inside and out) and will be going for top price so I don't want the coil top to be a turn off for potential future tenants. On the flip side, I don't want to buy a glass top stove and then spend hundreds of dollars repairing damages from tenants or dealing with it looking disgusting on move out because they didn't clean it properly and now it's stained. 

The property is a townhouse style duplex, 3 beds on each side and 1300sq ft, if that provides any additional perspective (not sure that it does, but I guess better too have too much info rather than not enough ha).

Any perspective would be helpful. Thank you!

@Kirsten Crotts, glass top is way more modern and easier for cleaning
