I have a Hardy that I put in service in 1998. I'd get another Hardy if this one failed, but I know nothing of the other brands. It's like other purchases - you need a good established dealer.
I usually check my Hardy twice a day. It likes me to poke it to settle the fire together. Cold weather it will need wood added night and morning. 40 degree weather, once a day is usually fine, depending on the species of wood of course. Summertime I add wood about once a week.
For a heat exchanger, I have a coil in my furnace plenum. A guy I worked with used an old truck radiator with a fan behind it in his shop.
Floor heating is super nice, but you can't turn the thermostat down at night then quickly bring it back up in the morning. My son has it, and I can't describe how nice it is to work under something with that heat in the floor.
What to look out for? Some of them require chemicals for rust prevention. That's why I chose the Hardy - at that time it was the only boiler from a reputable local dealer that did not need chemicals. I'm not implying the chemicals are bad, I just didn't want to fool with them.

Today's Featured Article - Restoring a John Deere 2010 Diesel Tractor - by Jim Nielsen.

We bought a small 'farm' of about 50 acres near Bendigo, in the state of Victoria. I soon found that it would be very useful to have a tractor around the place for things such as grading our long drive and brush-hogging the fields. I was also embarking on planting 1000 eucalyptus trees, and hence I would need a ripper, small disk plow, sprayer etc. to get these things accompli
