Lots to consider
I have a larger wood furnace like that in VT, as well as various dust collector equipment in professional daily use.
With that said, the ceiling mounted units would be the last on my list unless I simply wanted a small amount of relatively safe, nuisance particulate removed from the air in a well-sealed area. For the same money, I think there are more effective options. For light duty, a cyclone added to a shop vac with a HEPA filter is simple, cheap, effective and can be very safe. Something like this captures much more particulate where it is generated vs letting it float around for 20-30 min or more until it finally reaches a ceiling unit.
It really depends upon what and how much you are filtering. Contact me offgroup if you like, glad to talk about what I have, use and how well it works. There's no reason to melt the snowbank if you don't have to...
