Here is a higher versus lower BTU comparison that may help you decide.
Our house has a 100 000 BTU furnace.
Our son's house same size same area has a 60 000 BTU furnace.
Both houses are well insulated and our propane usage is very similar.
Differences;
When our furnace runs the air from the vents is noticeably warmer and the run time to bring the house up to the set temperature is usually quite short. 8-12 minutes.
When our son's furnace runs the air from the vents is noticeably cooler than ours and accordingly his run time is much longer per cycle. average 20+ minutes.
Basically our 100 000 is like a big V-8 truck, it uses lots of fuel but it gets the job done fast.
His 60 000 is like a fuel efficient little 4 cylinder truck, it gets the same job done but because it can't do it as fast the amount of fuel used is very comparable.
If your shop is kept at a constant temperature the lower BTU unit will suffice.
If you turn the temperature down when not using the shop and you want to be able to bring the temperature up to a comfortable setting quickly then the higher BTU unit will serve you better.
Regarding moving heat down from the ceiling I have a piece of six inch stove pipe about 10 foot long with an inline fan mounted in the top of it.
The end with the fan is close to the ceiling, the bottom end has a simple piece of cardboard attached to deflect the flow along the floor.
When I bring in a vehicle it can sit overnight and still have ice on the bottom of it.
If I run the stovepipe fan by morning the ice is not only gone but the floor is dry as well.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
