Propane generally can burn cleaner, and you get higher efficiencies out of the equipment. Nothing is made like it used to be. I have replaced new unit's before the neighboring unit at 3 times the age dies. (some are still going strong at +35 years) It's all relative.
Without looking up the equipment mentioned, most often propane is a better option. However oil delivery may be far cheaper in your neck of the woods then propane. (Economies of scale) Pound for Pound Pricing is usually fairly competitive, excluding delivery. An on demand or high efficiency (condensing) tank converted (or bought already setup for propane) is a very good choice. (again, economies of scale)
1) do you have a large propane tank? Most people don't like running around with 100lbs cylinders when it's -20 outside.
2) does your oil tank have to be replaced soon? Every jurisdiction is different, but locally once they pass a certain age, they have to be inspected, and eventually replaced. (fairly strict environmental regulations here, especially on single wall tanks)
3) How's the price of electricity in your area?
Cheers!
