The house I live in has hot water heat.
The original system and oil boiler was installed in 1961 when I was a child. The boiler was replaced with a propane boiler in 1987. The replacement boiler was installed by Bubba and was always troublesome. I replaced it with a new boiler in 2004 or 2005. The rest of the system is original. No problems since.

Things to consider:
Baseboard registers need to be exposed for efficient operation, and this limits how rooms are arranged and used.
A system failure or prolonged power outage in extremely cold weather could result in freezing of the pipes and registers, which would be catastrophic. I maintain my own system (Most heating/AC folks are not competent to work on hot water systems and will not do so.). For this reason, I do not leave the house for extended periods of time, e.g., vacations, in the winter. Filling the system with glycerine rather than water would eliminate such concern but I have not done so.
