Small home addition question

I have only one 300 foot run with 1/2 Pex for a small addition in my home.(concrete addition-4 inch slab)...I plan to use a 35,000,000 BTU 30-gallon hot water heater. I also plan to run 50/50 Glycol-water. What would be the recommended taco pump or Grundfos pump? I live in Alaska and in an area where it does get down to 30 below at least a few times a winter. But most often we experience temperatures around freezing.

    Never heard of a residential water heater with that much gas input.................

    Any brand, small circulator speed 1.
    Check the chart of the brand of glycol you intend to use 37- 40% should be adequate, that is a lot of glycol when you use a tank style heater..
