For your area heat pump for sure, should be some really great incentives also. Additionally, most units are mostly the same, universal parts in a proprietary box, a few differences but nothing crazy. The best way to get a long life out of the unit is to keep it clean and serviced regularly. On the furnace/air handler side use a really good filter, not only for indoor air quality but because dust in the system causes it to wear out faster.Aprilaire would be an industry leader there.
