Combi, System or Regular Boiler?

Toolguy

I've had a combi boiler in my last two homes, and loved them, but wonder if they are suitable for larger homes.
I'm at the plumbing stage in my new place and a bit confused by the different types. Four occupants, two showers (not electric) and a bath. There's plenty of space for hot and cold water tanks, so I'm wondering would I be better off with a regular boiler, and put some pumps in the attic to drive the showers. Mains pressure is also very good.
Thanks in advance for any advice, as my brain is getting fried

I'd fit a unvented cylinder best of both worlds stored hot water at combi like water flow at the taps.

Thanks Gary,

Unvented sounds good, as I have the pressure. I'm not going to have an electric showers, but was going to fit a pump above each shower. Hmm, you've given me a bit to think about there.

It's what the Queen uses, so you may as well bath like a old Queen, I do.

I have always recommended a bog standard back up electrc shower in an ensuite.

If I jump out of an airplane it's nice to have a backup parachute.







You can boil a kettle to wash, but you need a shower to be refreshed.
I have come across annoyed people before, they woud have appreciated a simple shower.

Errr.... the hot water performance from a unvented (up to 3 1/2bar) gives a good shower experience and it comes with a immersion as a back up.

Electric showers should always be fitted with combi install as a given but my dear potty mouth friend why would "you" wish to fit one with a unvented cylinder?
