If you want maximum heating efficiency, and no smoke - a wood burner is the obvious choice. However, - If heating efficiency etc are not sacrosanct, there's little to beat a nice roaring open fire. We chose the open fire - its a holiday home, not used a great deal in Winter, although we do usually do about 4 weeks in the skiing season. The open fire is more than enough [after a couple of days warming the walls] to cause the central heating to cut off [it's set at 21C] You could always 'mix and match' your options - one room with the feature open fire, and the rest with wood burners.
