slide in oven vs built in, microdrawer vs open front. I can't decide!

I'm meeting with cabinet guy for my kitchen this weekend and I still don't know what type oven or microwave I want, I need to figure it out before they start planning how to build the cabinets around the appliance. I'm not a big cook but I do like the look of a professional style kitchen with built in refrigerators and big stove ovens. I have two built in ovens at my current house and I have never used the bottom one, half of my family are vegetarians so we make small meals. We really only use the oven for baking. We have a lot of use of our microwave and now I wonder if I should get the steam microwave ovens that goes on top of one electric oven. Can someone please tell me the pros and cons for both appliance from your experience? My husband likes gas oven but I prefer electric.
