Where would you put radiators?

If we assume a relatively well insulated house with windows of a high standard.
Also assume enough work going on to make plumbing in new radiators anywhere they work best an option.
Would you stick with the traditional look by placing most of them under the windows (barring hall and bathrooms). Do you swear by underfloor heating or do tall designer rads work best for you?
I was looking at houses on Rightmove and one which had undergone a huge amount of refurbishment had conventional wide radiators under almost every window with curtains which when drawn would block the radiators - To me it looked a bit old fashioned.
Dislaimer, I have one under window radiator in the smallest bedroom room which I use as my office. I didn't move it as there really is nowhere else in a room that size it could go, it still gets partly blocked by the sofa bed and I've been told you get pretty toast when the bed is folded down as it's next to the rad.
