The electric type is applied by i believe (never seen it done but tonnes of people get it on prestige cars in NSW) an electrostatic charge and basically what this does is slow down the chemical reaction between the metal bits in your car and oxygen, humidity and salt in the air to prevent rust before it even starts. Another benefit of electric rust protection is that once the charge is applied it pretty much covers the whole car in one go - no need to open door trims and the like to make sure the rust proof has applied correctly.
Out of the 2 types, solution based and electric based, the electric one is usually far more expensive and far more valuable as once it is applied, it never needs to be re-applied again - not so with solution based rust protection which needs reapplication every few years or so.
Also bare in mind that there are also a few different types of paint protection, the 2 most common are called paint protection (obvious huh lol) and another coating usually referred to as nature guard, the latter stops bird poop eating your paint as well as industrial fallout. the 2 products are usually offered as either part of a pack but sometimes individually also.
Auto Glym should be ok just check with the dealer first.
