I purchased the jacket liner, gloves, pants and controller from their outlet. Total cost was under $300.

I recommend both.
The heated gloves are great for winter riding when it's cold all the time. The one thing I don't like about my Gerbing heated gloves/heated jacket combination is that they work off the same heat troller (the gloves are plugged into the jacket), but when my jacket's at a comfortable temperature, my hands are sometimes too hot, depending on the outside temperature.
The heated grips are excellent when in spring/fall when it's chilly in the early morning and at night, but warm the rest of the day. And you can wear whatever gloves you like. If you can handle the looks, a way to greatly increase the effectiveness of heated grips is to use them in conjunction with handlebar muffs (like hippo hands). With this kind of set-up I can ride in winter using my summer gloves because the heat stays in and warms my whole hand, not just my palms. Also keeps the rain out.

I have the heated grips on my bike and in extremely cold north east winter mornings, they heat up nice and toasty. I use a mid to heavy weight glove and on the high settings, the heat warms right thru my entire hand. Down side is when you are moving at a good clip for a period of time, the thumbs tend to still get a little chilly. I have arthritis in my hands so I tend to use the heated grips when I am out suring the other seasons and it gets chilly and all I have are light weight gloves or no gloves. For me, its the convenience of just having them.
