Geothermal heat pump, UFH and towel rails

Hi all, just looking for some advice.

We are installing a Geothermal Heatpump with UFH on both floors.
Is it advisable to connect towel rails to this system or should we just go with electric heated towel rails separate to the geothermal system.

Thanks in advance,

Separate electric towel rails. The towel rails will need an increased temperature which will pull down the efficiency of the overall system.

Just coming to that point myself too (similar with UFH upstairs & downstairs).

Is there really a need for the heated towel rails (electric or otherwise)?
Are they required to gently heat the towels or to help dry them out?

I will have a MHRV system installed also, so that "should" help with drying the towels.

Just wondering what other opinions are.

My thought was not to bother putting them in at all, but was wondering if I would regret it later.
I think I'll just leave them out altogether.
Seems like some people use oversized rails as a secondary heating source for the bathroom.
I'll just put my faith in the UFC & MHRV.
