One thing I'd comment on is that I BELIEVE (note emphasis) that the
under-floor radiant heat systems are slow to warm up, and slow to cool down.
In other words, you're not just going to crank up the heat when you walk in
the shop each morning (or on Saturday morning, if you're a weekend type
dude/tte), and enjoy toasty-warm temps right away. You'll waste a lot of
energy (i.e. $$$) with fluctuating temps.
My kids cranked up the basement underfloor heat in a rental property we were
in, and it took days for it to cool off to liveable temps again.

My shop is under construction this week and next, a 30'x26'x12' pole
building. The floor is my responsibility, and my thought was to
install 2" foam insulation on the gravel then pour my concrete on top
of that with the pex tubes in the concrete.
My area is a Zone 5 usda, meaning we have signicant below 32 days, and
some days below 0 every year.
Is there a fellow wrecker that uses radiant floor heat that could
comment on their fuel source and their cost of operation on a month to
month basis?
Thanks
Alan
