I won't live in a house with forced air or carpet because they aggravate my asthma and allergies so much. The self contained hydronic baseboards are nice but expensive to upgrade. The old heating element convection heaters are very costly to run, and I wouldn't want them as my primary source of heat. I have baseboards but never use them since I have two wood stoves. I'm slowly upgrading to the self contained hydronic for resale value when I retire.
Edit, I also purchased eight upright radiant heaters that I use when I am gone for extended periods of time, and they work well.
