Chris, If you are thinking intermittent shop heating, don't worry about the cost per BTU. Especially an air to air heat pump. During sub zero temps when you need them the most, they won't work. Not using one all the time isn't worth the investment.
I have a well insulated attached 2 car garage, 24x24. It takes almost nothing to heat it. One 1500 watt electric baseboard.
Another 24x24 stand alone garage I rarely heat. When I do I have 3 1500w IR I can focus on myself and stay nice and toasty.
As for my pole barn, no insulation. Sun warms it during the day. Good enough for me.
I like the idea of having a generator for two purposes. One portable back up power, the other to power a chainsaw.
I have two portable IR LP MR Heaters. They can be connected a 20# LP tank. It can produce 6,12,18,000 Btu’s. It can take the chill off small garage. It burns much cleaner than a oil heater or any LP heater connected to the top of a bottle. It can also be used as a back up heat source in your home. I have about 6 20# bottles which can be used on a grill too.
I find it cheaper to get LP tanks refilled at TSC than it is to exchange tank for a full one.

On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
