It really depends on where you're at and how you plan to use your shop - if you plan to keep it a constant temp, or turn it up only when you're in it. Guys in Canada will have a different view of what's best compared to those in Alabama. The shop at work has both radiant and forced air. When I come in to warm up, I prefer to stand under the forced air because it's a less intense, more even heat. The radiant is real hot where you face it, but cold on the backside - like standing next to a campfire. I realize coming in to warm up is different than working inside. My shop at home has forced air. I keep it at about 35˚F and turn it up to 50˚ when I'm in it. Works for me. I'm pretty sure I'd be annoyed with radiant heat using it like that. I do have closed cell sprayed insulation - $6,000 for a 30x45x14. Worth the money IMO.
