>Are there any particular types of boiler that are more suited to
this
kind of system?

Paul,

There are a number of boilers that have specific outputs for UFH,
however the preferred way of doing UFH is with a thermal store -
basically a big hot water tank. You heat the store using the boiler at
it's most efficient, the UFH then takes water out of the store at a much
lower temperature, normally around 50oC.

Have a look at the UK_Selfbuild FAQ's as they do give some good
background reading http://www.sbfaq.borpin.co.uk/dokuwiki/doku.php
