UFH and Outbuilding

We got planning permission to build a 7mx7m outbuilding at the end of our garage.
The new outbuilding will primary be used for gym and cinema room but will have shower/toilet room.
As the new outbuilding will be independent from the main house (approx. 20M away) we are thinking best to put a new boiler (independent) to fulfil the heating/hot water requirements but unsure best to go combi or system?
Secondly, we also debating whether to have wet under floor heating or traditional radiators. We have wet UFH installed in the house so we are aware of the pros and cons of wet UFH but unsure wet UFH would be suitable for our occasional usage of the outbuilding?
Appreciate your input.
Cheers
