On a base board heaters you can get 720 BTU/HR with 200o water temperature at 4 g.p.m. flow. Might go to http://warmair.net and compare fuel cost for where you are from oil to gas and electric

Heat Loss
You need to determine the heat loss for that room. There is a good, free, program for such a calculation available from Slantfin.com.
Once you determine the heat loss, then you can consider how you want to supply that amount of heat to the room. Until that calculation is done, everybody is guessing.
