I use this as a simple rule of thumb...
From Easter to September, and including France, I use the blue Campingaz 907 (and regulator to match, of course). A good all round size. Will last a while, and not too bulky for transporting. Works fine with the expected temperatures (Weather), and re-fills (exchanges, actually) are easily found in both UK and France.
From October to Easter, I use propane, (if I bother with gas at all) due to the lower temperatures. In my case, A "Calor-Lite" bottle, again with it's appropriate regulator. As it's "Lite", it's as comfy to carry as the campingaz, but getting on for twice the size. As it was a freebie, I ain't complaining! :-)
One thing I don't consider, with the above, is cost, be it purchase price or usage costs. Personally, I don't think we use enough gas "to worry about that".
I got the last campingaz bottle in France last September, and I'll be taking it back there in two weeks time... and no doubt bringing the same one back. The Calor-Lite was exchanged over 12 months ago, and I expect it to last us through the coming winter months.
Of course, we all use different amounts of gas, for different lengths of time, so a little "suck it and see" is unavoidable. If in doubt, take two bottles, until you get used to things, and have the confidence that the one bottle will last the whole trip.
