Venting a gas dryer

We have bought a new gas dryer and wondering about venting it. We are renovating and we have studs and only the sub floor down at the moment.
Is it dangerous to vent it into the attached garage. We live in an older home, so there is lots of air circulation in the garage. It would be a direct pipe just on the other side of the dryer through the cement wall.
The other way is to vent it down through the floor, through the crawl space and outside the kitchen. It would mean a bend in the exhaust pipe and it would be very close to the back garden door. I have heard that it will cause a build up of lint when there is a bend in the pipe.
What is the best method?
