Which is safer as a source of emergency heat–kerosene heaters or propane heaters?

We don’t have any source of backup heat if the power goes out. I’m trying to decide between getting a new kerosene heater or a propane heater. We’ve had kerosene heaters before and I don’t like them–even as careful as we were, we still got headaches, and I hate lighting the wick. Has anybody used a propane heater? Are they easier and safer to use?
