Both Stamp Paper and Franking are equally acceptable form of Execution of a Sale Agreement. But in my opinion, Franking is a better option since it is done at the Sub-Registrars office. Additionally, since you would most probably be going for a home loan, most banks require Franking of the Sale Agreement to be done.

Both are same.  In Karnataka, you have both the options. Both cases you need to pay 0.1% stamp duty to government. It is just a process to deposit the stamp duty. Legally both are same. With stamping, you can go it before or after signing the agreement. But for the e-stamp paper route, you will have purchase and print the agreement in the stamp paper itself. Not the whole agreement but just the 1st para need to be there in stamp paper bottom portion. Example of franked sale agreement.
