Strider makes a great point. The efficiency of flat plate collectors is a fair amount better when the delta T of the panel vs ambient is lower. Evacuated tube collectors work better in extremely cold climates, or where you want really hot water. For most house heating, flat plate seems to be the more cost effective solution.
