While I don"t have a radiant shop floor (my shop is still a gravel base... no bldg yet), we have done a few radiant heat projects. They key, like everything else, is in the prep and installation.
I know of some who store their toys in a shop and to keep them in good shape, they installed the radiant tubing but run it off a hot water heater. This system is setup to keep the area above 40 deg. but not too much higher. Their operational cost is very low. May not be what you"re looking for but may also be an economical option as far as utility costs.
I"ve been thinking about heat for my shop when I get it built and have been considering using a radiant heat mat (electric) in just a designated area. We use them a lot in the high end residential bathrooms. Nothing like setting cabinets on a nice warm tile floor. In a shop I would have it where I would be working on something and the t-stats for them are completely programmable so I would only be using electricity when needed. May not do much for heating the shop, but will take the edge off when you"re working.
