To answer your question, "is it cheaper?". No, it will be exactly the same if it is set up to change the same amount of water you are changing now.
As far as how many GHP should it be set up to drip. That is totally up to you. How often do you do water changes now and how much do you change? With that info then the GPH question can be answered.

you will win time with a drip system.
If you change 50% of the water weekly, taking 2 hours, you will win 104 hours in a year.
It's up to you if that's worth making / buying a drip system.

Say you change 40 gallons a week.
24 x 7 = 168
40 / 168 = 0.238gph.
So.... with a 1/2 gph drip emitter, you would roughly be changing twice as much water per week.
