I agree with Ken about the fact that I do believe this should be done with some grade A honey that we know is going to turn out a high quality mead un-heated for sure.
That said, I'm going to be using good quality buckwheat honey for my first test, mainly because it's a honey I'm interested in using to fill out the flavour and colour of meads when blended in, and I'm curious to see whether boiling it will make the aroma more attractive for my own personal plans for the stuff.
I do think I'll take a second whack at this though afterwards using honey I've acheived good mead with un-heated before.

<sigh> and a lot less expensive than joining another group brew... Free Trade Agreement, my behind...
