Yea Winter rains, I would get at least a an Energy Star rated one, you can start here
I would make sure you get an aftermarket water pump because the ones with a built in pump fail. Id get the best I could afford because over capacity reduces operating cost. I thought I bought over capacity, but when it rains for a week its hard to dehumify that. But I can keep it at 50 % when 100 % outside. You may need a whole house dehumidifier. I was able to set mine it at 40 % and for get it, it was made for a dary. Filtered the air in with HEPA then sterilized it with ozone, it mad beautiful air. I have been using low amounts of ozone for 20 years ain't dead yet.

Well, don't neglect yourself, get a few bottles of oxygen too. Heck sakes a bariatric chamber can't be beat. So you are going for that Jerasic Strain, Put a plant patten on it & Be Careful
 
I used to have a fully sealed room. Co2 was taken care of by a propane burner. Never had any issues with humidity because the mini splits pulled plenty of moisture out of the room. As soon as I went to fresh air I had to get a quest and even with that I have to use a floor dehum to catch up.
