How should I heat my shop in Ontario Canada

Some time in the next couple of years I will be building my first shop that is not in the basement. I am thinking of a 20 X 40 shop with various rooms for different activities. I was wondering what the best way to heat the shop would be. My biggest concern is fire, with the dust and accumulated mess that I create I really don't want to have the shop explode on me. I want to maintain an above freezing temperature at all times. I know this means heating an empty shop most of the time but it is worth it to me. I will have electrical or propane available at the building. Cost is always a concern but I am willing to pay for my comfort. I make knives as a hobby right now but hope to turn it into a retirement project sometime in the next ten years.
Thanks for the help.
Steve
