If you are going to continue to handle Gift Certificates as well as Gift Cards ... then the best way of recording Payment Method on Gift Cards is as a Credit Card (assuming you are not using the CHASE seamless interface within Helios).
If you are no longer selling Gift Certificates with the introduction of Gift Cards (logical) then you could use Gift Certificate as the Method of Payment to keep it separate if you wish.
Are your Gift Cards per numbered ... if they are and you are planning on reusing them you will have to turn Tracking off on Gift Certificate, since with Tracking turned on you will not be allowed to resell the same number ... with Tracking off the system will not care.
Are your Gift Cards manual or automated?
Helios is working on incorporating Gift Card processing within it relationship with CHASE and/or DCAS (the EFT Check Processor ... which went into BETA testing with a limited number of clients the end of October), but there is not timeline on have that automated Gift Cards available within Helios, BUT it is being worked on in the planning stage.
