    I've been doing a little homework trying to decide if one is better than the other. I'm thinking in a small room (about 13x13) either would work fine. But thought I'd ask around as well.

    Thanks all!
    I would stay away from anything that has parts that are doomed to failed due to prolonged used, so I would go with radiant which is what I have been using for 13 years from October to May 24/7 the current oil filled heater that I am running is 9 years old.
