If I had the chance to do it all from scratch right now, I'd go with a sub-soil heat pump, gas backup (because I want gas in the kitchen for cooking).

I used to hate heat pumps, and I'm still not much of a fan of air tranfer types. They have problems with heat transfer in extremely hot weather, or extremely cold weather. I get both here.

But the sub-soil ones, those work great year round. I've got friends that have them, and I'm very impressed with them. In fact, you could probably talk me out of the gas backup with a sub-soil installation just because they never seem to need to kick it on.

Resistance wire electric is god awful expensive. It's dandy for little space heater installations, but you don't want to see how your meter spins if you've got a whole house heated with it.

Radiant in floor heating feels nice. I've had it, and the warm floor is delightful. But it tends to be pricy, and it's slow to warm up the house. Baseboard hot water is far faster at heating the house up, and neither give you blast of warm air to go "ahh" in. And of course leave you looking for a/c in the summer.
