Domestic Boiler Recommendations?

Hello -

I'm looking for recommendations for a >90% AFUE domestic boiler. Your advice would be much appreciated. I have three basic questions:

1) How to compute output BTU requirements
2) Where to find unbiased boiler comparison information
3) Recommendations from experienced tradespeople for brands/models of reliable high-efficiency boilers.

I already purchased the boiler comparison document from furnacecompare.com, but it only lists 13 brands, and excludes Olsen and Burnham, amongst others. Are there any other sources for comparison information?

Here are the details of my installation, which must be done within ~30 days maximum:

Location: Toronto, Canada
Output Capacity: About 85,000 BTU
Old Boiler: Teledyne-Laars JVT-100C; 84,100BTU

My requirements:
- Electronic ignition (no pilot light)
- High-efficiency (>90% AFUE)
- Very reliable brand/model
- Smaller package size is better

Thanks very much -

- Trevor
