Even if the fire place has a forced air fan it will probably be good for the immediate surrounding area I doubt it will heat the entire house effectively. Base board heat is usually in every room and the heat is more evenly distributed on a real cold day the fire place would be a good supplemental source of heat. As far as being the main source of heat, not a good idea and the total sum of the base board is going to impact the bill more I would use the fireplace as a supplement only. Although both utilize an element to produce heat the element is protected from direct contact the fire place should be screened so children cant acess it,of the two I would say its the most dangerous.
