    i would go with a 90+ gas boiler and base boards , they more evenly then forced air and you won’t have to worrier about where to put all that duct work. Once you heat the water it holds the heat and keeps heating after the boiler stops running, that too makes it more efficient

    Cost is no object…Geothermal. Easily most efficient.

    My first choice would be a Ground Source Heat Pump. Heat exchange is via a pipe loop buried in a deep 4-6" well or pipe loops buried horizontally about 10-20′ below the surface. It’s not new technology. We had a modified ground source heat pump in the family supermarket in 1961. Europe has been using them about as long. The program in the USA got its start at OK State Univ. in the late 1980’s. The system also includes a way to transfer heat extracted from the home in the summer months to your hot water heater. I retro-fitted a GSHP system in my home when I worked in the Washinton D.C. Metro area. The retro-fit repaid about 65% in the 3 years I was there. When I sold I was able to get full asking price because I had documented cost savings in utilities. Here’s a link to start you on an info gathering quest. Google "ground source heat pump" for more info sites.

    My second choice would be the more ubiquitous Air Source Heat Pump or what most people think of when they hear Heat Pump.

    A geothermal system is the most efficient. For more info check out the geothermal page at my source.
