http://www.greenhouse-heater.co.uk/g...-selection.htm
has a handy guide for working out which type is best.
http://www.cmsgardens.co.uk/heaters.htm
has a multitude of various heaters, although neither of these links will
tell you how much they cost to run, you can bet that it's a lot more than
propane!

BTW, if you do decide to use electricity, don't bother with a greenhouse
heater, any bog standard blow heater will suffice, provided it's supply has
a trip-switch fitted.
