new heat/AC system in old farmhouse

I'd like some advice.
My wife and I just bought an old farmhouse on the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia. Rambling, add-ons, about 2000 Sq-Ft. on very tight crawl-space under older half of house, the rest on concrete slab. 7-ft ceilings. Old part 2-story, new part 1-story.
Heat-pump and duct system? New "ductless" systems from Mitsubishi or Sanyo? Hot water baseboard heat and wall-thru AC units? We don't know what's best.
Looking for pros and cons. We got one bid for ducted heat-pump system--3 choices ranging from $12,000 to $16,000. Seems high and I don't like hot dry air blowing on me anyway, though the guy said they can direct vents to avoid that.Waiting for other bids on other systems.
Any feedback welcome. Thanks.

bids
you really can't compare bids on all this as your talking apples to oranges. We sell hot air and heat pumps . however there is no question a good hydroic system will be more comfortable and cheaper to run. Up here we actually do a good bit of biusness every year REMOVING hot air systems and heat pumps and relacing them with some type of hydronic system.0 -
ac
another choice since you need ac in that area would be a groundsource system .0
