Both have their good points and bad points.
LPG,
Pro- extended range above standard petrol range, cheaper running cost
Cons-Excessive initial outlay, ($5k+), higher engine temps, (the 4.7V8 doesn't like too much heat), smallish LPG tank, need to relocate spare=loss of cargo or roof space
Petrol
Pro-available anywhere, easy to carry extra in jerry cans
Cons-Long Range tank whilst advertised as not being the lowest point of the car seems to be where it gets hung up the most besides transfer case plate. Adds a lot of extra weight without a huge gain in range
A decent roof rack with a quality dual horizontal jerry can holder is the cheapest and most efficient method of gaining extra range. It is also removable for normal running around town and can also be used for the carriage of water whilst touring, (one jerry of fuel, one of water).

If you were to go with the long range fuel tank either petrol or LPG you would almost certainly have to upgrade the suspension due to the extra weight.
