Why not go with a moc/cod boiler and take full advantage of the low temps of the radiant. With your other choices you have to worry about low temp return water temp.

Mod Con is way to go

Also was the buderus a 132,000 btu. Sounds pretty large for 2500 ft with radiant system. But a heat loss calc. will tell you.

Best Boiler

It is best to hire a local contractor familiar with radiant to do a proper heat loss and radiant floor design. If you plan to do some of the install upfront, let the contractor know, some will work with. Depending on the type of radiant and what temperature it is designed to operate at can help determine a boiler type (cast iron, atmospheric, aluminum, stainless steel,condensing, etc....) A radiant system can provide comfort and efficent heating if DESIGNED and INSTALLED correctly. The boiler choice - what is your installer/service person familiar with. Many manufactures offer all type of boilers and would prefer the system is installed correctly so that the boiler chosen can preform as expected.
