Gophers or moles?

For the last couple of years, underground critters have arrived in my
garden.  We cannot tell for sure if they are pocket gophers or moles,
both of whch seem to be in the area.  We bought two of those underground
electronic repellers which send out beeps, but I dont think they do
anything.

My question:  I know they seem to prefer certain plants; a neighbor
mentioned that tulips go fast.  I had some which were naturalizing
nicely, but they are mostly gone now.  Dianthus have a way of
disappearing overnight, leaves and all.  NOW, one of my tree peonies is
shriveling.  I havent had the heart to pull it up yet to see what the
roots look like, but it was very sudden, so that may be the problem.

Can anyone send me lists of plants (such as Dianthus, tulips, I would
guess) that are particularly susceptible to underground pests?  I was
planning to plant another peony this fall, but now I dont know if I
should. I think that many plants could be at risk, but some seem more
tasty than others. Any plant names would be helpful.
