If your calculation falls between two sizes, go for the smaller stove. You will have to burn it a little hotter, which will keep the stove and the flue cleaner than if you burn a bigger stove shut down a lot.
At the same time as you are planning your stove, you need to be planning somewhere to stack and dry your logs. Start looking around for logs in March or April.
Make friends with your chimney sweep and get him to install the stove - he will set up the pipe with a port for ease of sweeping in future. He won't thank you for not having a port.
Don't buy just a wood burner if such a thing exists: buy a multi-fuel.We have a Dovre 250, which is superb.
