i think Aggy said he/she is doing this on a tight budget so calling in a designer may actually be a big chunk of the budget and anyway, i thought this site was called 'DIYnot' ! i'm not a professional heating designer but i'm going to try work this one out so anyone who finds fault with my...

what we need to know is your stove details: make, model, and particularly it's output (colour is not important!). what will the flow through the underfloor circuits be? what is the flow through and square meterage of the stove output coil in your heat store? and yes, igotalake!

that is a very complicated system you are planning which will take a good brain to design and install. i don;t think the manifolds being upstairs should matter but then maybe i'm wrong. it would be much easier for everyone here to assess what you're talking about if you could supply some...
