Switch from Oil to Propane?

Hi Everyone,
As many of you know, we are house hunting in the area and are wondering about the wisdom of switching from oil to propane. I know there have been some very good calculations showing that propane can be more expensive than oil, but here is why we are thinking about switching.

#1-we like cooking with gas
#2- we plan on installing a gas fireplace
#3- we may look into a tankless water heater at some point
#4 -better resale value down the road
#5 - furnaces need less maintenance and tend to last longer
#6- less CO2 emission (feel good about environmental impact)

Would anybody care to share their wisdom about any misinformation I have listed and about making a wise choice in this matter?
