Go induction. Lots of people seem to like the Bosch, but I've heard pretty good things about the lower-level Kitchenaid as well. I wanted knobs, so I chose the LG.

Induction is by far the better electric technology -- much better control over your cooking temperatures, and much easier clean up. Not all pots will work with induction, but it's worth replacing any of yours that don't -- like the costs of induction stoves are going down, so are the prices of induction-compatible cookware.

I am so sorry to hear you had a fire. That must have been scary. I hope all is well now.

I second everything Toronto Vet. says. Induction is the way to go. Bosch is great. So worth the effort of upgrading (the cookware need not be super expensive- Amazon sells a few highly rated sets- Cuisinart comes to mind as one of them.)

Keeping induction clean is a breeze. It's a safer technology. It is actually a very old and mature tech. Once yo make a short list of the models you are considering, Google their reviews on Houzz or GardenWeb (if that is still possible.)
