Hi Dan,
Personally, I would stay away from log construction. Too hard to change things later. Post and beam should work nicely for you. The frame of the P&B will support the structure. If you want to add on, you just take a chain saw to the insulated panels and your ready for expansion.
If you build on a slab, just make sure you use conduits to be able to get wires where you need them in the future.
Considering where you live, I would definately go with radient floor heating. It's easy to install and it's the best for tall ceilings.
You will of course, need an air system also. I would recommend an air exchanger to bring in fresh air in all year round.
Give me a call if you want some futher info.
