Go for multi-fuel. Downside is they are a bit more expensive, but upside is you can burn coal which will keep going for a lot longer and means you don't have to constantly stoke the fire.
I went for a welded steel stove over cast iron. Cast iron can crack due to repeated expansion and contraction caused by the heat which steel is supposed to be better at handling.

The fireplace installer visited yesterday, all good except he said they wont dispose off the old fireplace. It looks like cast iron, surely there is money to be made if scrapped right? I might have to sell it on gumtree/ebay ..
Any pro tips regarding the wood burners @hoops @Dammit ? Still in two minds about multi fuel and wood only and cast iron vs steel ..
