Wood flooring with Radiant Heat?

Let's talk about the interior flooring for the Phase I building.

I've been doing some reading (always dangerous) that suggests that solid wood, traditional hard-wood flooring isn't a great choice to use with radiant heat.  They suggest that 'engineered' wood flooring is a better alternative.  Is engineered flooring the same as laminate?

Now that we're gearing up on Phase 1 I think that flooring is one of the key decisions for me to be able to begin planning the color scheme, cabinets, paint etc of the house. Okay... yes I know there's the whole building thing....  But..  I'd love feedback on flooring.  I love the warmth and appearance of wood.  I do not think I want stone or tile.  But the topic is officially open for discussion
