All electric heating costs 4 times as much as gas/oil except storage heating which is only half as dear. A good thermostatic control will help you prevent the room from overheating and will save money.
Oil filled heaters hold the heat longer but they also take a while to heat up. There are no magical properties in the oil! It costs the same to heat a room with a fan heater as an oil filled rad, except you are more likely to overheat the room with a fan heater.
Anyone who tries to sell you a "more efficient" electric heating system is unaware of the laws of thermodynamics.

Whats up with the UFH? Is the boiler broken, control system not working or the pipes leaking?
You might be able to rescue it.
