Shelac or Gel?

I love getting Shelac nail polish because it doesn't chip or get damaged for three weeks. The last time I went to get my nails done, they put gel on me instead (although the process was the same). I haven't been able to tell a difference in the wear so far, but I've only had the gel on for a few days. I love not having my nails chip and being able to clean or do dishes without damaging the polish. It is rather expensive if done on a regular basis though. Have you tried either of these? Do you like Shelac or gel polish better?
