As I have stated in other posts. I would skip propane.

Investigate how many BTU's come from a unit of fuel.

With propane you are stuck with one company - the one that provides the tank. You can purchase a tank but they are expensive and no one really does this. And every time you switch propane companies - they trample thru your home and record every serial number of every appliance. Too mush hassle.

With oil you can pick any company. And as I have previously stated build in some redundant heating. Oil and electric. A wood stove is good. Monitor keresene heaters provide great heat.

Probably a good idea to check into an automatic generator while you at thinking about all of this.
