The going on forums thing is what we did, and we ended up with a problem system. Forums work well for the kind of thing where people are likely to have experience of more than one system, but even plumbers only tend to have experience of a limited number of makes, and it takes long enough for boiler problems to show up that they won't necessarily be reflected in what online users are buzzing about. When we bought ours it was the latest thing, but it turned out a major mistake, largely because it was new and the problems didn't show up till it had bedded in a bit.
What I would do now (will do if, as seems likely, we end up having to rip the damn thing out and start over) is go to an established local firm, not a one-man-band, and ask them what they have installed a lot of and regularly service. :-(
