It depends on the utility companies for the city or region you live in but generally natural gas is cheapest and oil is the most expensive.

Wood is free, you just have to gather it up and chop it up, that’s all

Natural, or propane gas is the cleanest, and cost effectiveness is soon evident. Cleanup/residue/byproducts,,,etc are all part of any other fuel source.
In an apartment especially, you may have tenant, landord, code issues to consider, As well as safety.
Natural or propane are as safe and effective as a gas burning stove/oven, but in a fireplace situation, you won’t have to scrape food residue… UNLESS of course ya do marshmallows in the living room,,,smiles.
