Swivel or dining-style chairs for patio furniture?

Which do you prefer? This would be for a dining set in cast aluminum that looks like wrought iron and would be used on a wooden deck (not a patio). I like the look of dining chairs (i.e., with legs) because I prefer a traditional style with my old house, but I’m wondering if swivel chairs would be more comfortable and practical on a deck (no legs to get caught in the cracks). Opinions?
One more thing — swivel chairs cost about twice as much as dining chairs.

In Ma, is it illegal to sell your home with a gas stove that u have to light yourself?

What would be cheaper to heat a room?

I have an upgraded heater and a/c forced air system. 80% efficiency.
I also have a gas log fireplace.
The heater/ac is in the part of the house where we sleep.
We spend 80% of our time is in our family room which has the fireplace.
In the winter the family room is normally colder than the ssleeping area.
When we run the heater we heat the entire house which seems inefficient.
so we run our gas fireplace in the family room, which is not especially efficient.

would it more efficient to buy some kind of electric radiator or heat the entire house or run the fireplace?
