We have a hot water forced air heating system (baseboard heat), and we have a couple of quotes from various specialists. It is a natural gas system.
One told us that a high (95% AFUE) efficiency boiler will lose efficiency with our heating system.
Another told us that any boiler will work. It sounds like he would swap out more stuff (i.e. pipes in the basement).
We will get some more estimates, but it would be nice to get some unbiased answers about this.

if you all ready have a forced air system i would stay with that, boilers are junk, always something going wrong with them,
gas furnaces are very reliable,
So what do you have, hot water (baseboard heat) or forced air?
Check into a geothermal system. It can reduce your costs by up to half and the tax rebates offset the cost.
