Here's a great article that compares to two.Maybe print it off and take to your vet to ensure they use one of these gases.

Also, anytime you are going to have your baby put "under" make sure you use a vet who does not "cut corners". There are some who offer low cost neutering but they try to do it all themselves, without an assistant for example. It is imperative for the safety of your pet that there be at least two people...one to perform the surgery and one to monitor the vitals and the anesthesia.
I would ask for a tour of the operating room and ask them to describe the equipment and make sure it is state of the art. This is no time to "save money" or cut costs. This is the life of your furbaby.
