Default Radiant Floor Heating and Air Cleaning options for shop

I am remodeling part of my business space and would like to get some
opinions on heating and air cleaners.
I run a soils laboratory and have dust in the air constantly. I am
posting to this group because of the similarity to the dusty
environment with woodworking tools. I have a 800 sf cement slab with
block walls that I want to finish with insulation, drywall and vinyl
tile floor.

The way I see it I have 2 options:

I was considering going with a suspended slab PEX radiant floor heat
system and having a constant exhaust system to remove any dust from the
air. If I went with forced air heat then all my hot air would be
evacuated. I assume the exhaust would not remove the heat in the room
generated from the floor.

Or

Use forced air and commercial duty air cleaners to recycle the internal
air. But I don't want a high dB cleaner running constantly.

Any opinions or experience with this combination of heating and air
cleaning?
Thanks in advance
