If you like wet cold floors then go with a hanging heater. The in floor heat is the best investment I have made in any of my shops. I have built three.
The first was just a remodeled hog barn. I heat it with hanging heaters. If you pulled in a vehicle that was covered in snow the next morning the vehicle would be nice and dry but the floor would have water puddles on it until you pushed the water out the door.
The second I made two big mistakes in: 1) The ceiling was not tall enough. I went 14 foot and that made my doors be 13 foot and they where not all enough for some combines nor a ceiling crane.

The one I have now I put in floor heat and made it 16 foot tall at the walls and 18 foot in the middle. It makes working in the winter so much easier. My heating cost are down as well. The heat is much more even and you don't have as hot of ceilings. The only mistake in this one is the main door is not big enough. I put in a 20 foot door and I should have went with a thirty.
