Just a quick lesson in terminology:  A zone is an area controlled by one thermostat.  Your house might have a single thermostat or zone for the whole house, or some have a separate thermostat / zone for each floor of the house, and some like to have complete control and have a separate thermostat / zone for every room of the house.   The choice is yours. However, when laying radiant floor tubing (Pex) you will most often have multiple loops of tube in a single zone.   You should never have a loop more than 300’ long and each loop in a single zone should be the same length.  A manifold connects all the loops together and makes one zone.

The picture below shows many loops, but just one manifold; so, this is one zone and will be controlled by one thermostat and one pump.


This picture below show an under-floor system with two zones.  Notice that there are two manifolds feeding many loops of pipe. 

To control the flow of the hot water, some Radiant Systems use one pump on each zone others use one main pump and a zone valve for each zone.  
I might suggest if you only have a couple small zones the single pump with a zone valves would be a good choice, like the picture on the left.

But if you have a fair number of zones and the zones are large, then I would suggest an individual pump for each zone.  In reality, the pump with flange is about the same price as a zone valve, and assures positive flow to each loop.

Also, it is imperative that any radiant loops in concrete use a mix valve to temper the water  temperature.  110 degrees in the concrete is usually plenty.
