Default Newbie Question - Vacuum vs Electric

I have noticed that American Champion offers three different panel "types"
on the Super Decathlon:

No gyro instruments.

Vacuum gyro instruments.

Electric gyro instruments.

I have read that aerobatic work is extremely hard on vacuum gyro
instruments, and that for an airplane doing primarily work, the no gyro
option is preferable.

So how do electric gyro instruments fit into the equation? Are they less
susceptible to damage from aerobatics than vacuum gyro instruments? Are
there any other advantages.

Thanks!
