oil direct-vent recommendations?

in THE MAIN WALL
small direct vent oil boiler and controls for new construction. Estimating <60K BTU/Hr heat load and willing to priority override the indirect hot water to keep with a smaller. more efficient boiler. I will have LPG directvent fireplace as a "kicker" when it gets really cold.

One potential contractor has said "Whatever Redlon & Johnson has"...
New Yorker microTek3-DV?
Crown Freeport ODV?
Burnham LEDV?
Pinzatti if they make a DV...?

Other contractors have recommended Buderos, NYThermal and Pinzatti.

I cannot find Pinzatti literature -- had a flue-based unit in my old home and loved it. I like the Buderos and Burnham controls and specs.

Boiler will drive a 40-50 gallon indirect tank with greywater recovery and a radiant system with nominal design of ~90 degrees, 5 GPM overall. I am leaning towards an espy controlled mixer as well (worth the extra coin?).

Seeking opinions and also relative price (as I cannot access prices on most). More so, price/performance tradeoffs.
