Since I am planning to install underfloor heating soon, I would like to know which type of pipe is best suited for this purpose.
Is the multilayer composite pipe, the PE Xa pipe, or the PE Xc pipe preferable?
What size should it be: 17x2.0 cm (6.7x0.8 inches), 20x2.0 cm (7.9x0.8 inches), 16x2.0 cm (6.3x0.8 inches), 15x1.8 cm (5.9x0.7 inches), etc.?

Furthermore, I need a new gas condensing boiler and have researched quite a bit, as there are so many manufacturers.
Clearly, a high efficiency and a wide modulation range are important.
But which manufacturer to choose: Vaillant, Wolf, Viessmann, Weishaupt, Brötje, Elco T, Remeha? I’m not sure. Wolf seems to be less well known compared to Brötje?
I am also considering solar support for domestic hot water and heating with a water-bearing stove during winter.

Any help is much appreciated.

First of all, have it properly calculated based on the room heating load! Then questions like pipe diameter, number of heating circuits, pipe spacing, pipe length, pressure loss, temperature difference, and mass flow will basically resolve themselves! ;-)
