I chose the oil heather specifically because it is the only one that appeared completely safe unattended for extended periods. Ceramic and electric both have hot surfaces that could ignite given contact to the right material or a short. Oil never gets that hot. It also has no fan to fail.
Propane furnace adds hours to HVAC increasing need for maintenance. Also, unattended combustion feels wrong. Bad combustion (CO build up) could result in failure to heat (icing and mold issues). I actually asked a similar question aimed at mold issues last year and the oil heater was the winner.
