No experience with garage heating, just homes. But I'd say 60k btu would probably work, 80k would be mo better.
Oh, and I've seen a lot of Reznor units over the years that were ancient and still worked fine.

We installed a Reznor 9yrs ago, only had to replace a sail switch on it once because the power went out mid cycle and fried it. Dam good unit, runs great even with all the paint infused dust stuck to every moving part of it.

ugh, that guy again?
if it is old enough to have a pilot light it'll probably be trouble free

Keeping I.T. real
I’ve been looking too and remember to Take the cost of vent pipe into consideration. The pipe for the mr heater is almost as much as the heater itself.
I’ve pretty much determined Reznor is the best, but it’s also the highest price.
it pulls combustion air from outside so it’s not sucking cold air into the shop while it’s running.
I still haven’t decided on one.

Why not 220V instead? No flash fire concern with flammable gas vapor and no vent needed.
Not sure how big the one my shop has but it will run you out of the 700 sqft first floor now that all the walls and the ceiling are insulated.

Electric heaters have the same issues with flammable gas.
I have a Mr. Heater 45k unit in my 400 sq ft garage, it works fine, it's noisy but it heats up pretty quick. Reznor and Modine are top tier but they cost way more, separated combustion is also awesome (more efficient) but again more expensive.
If you're only heating on the weekends, just get a cheap unit the ROI isn't there on the top tier ones...if you're always heating look into an actual furnace rather than a unit heater.
