I heat a 40x60x14. Walls are R19, ceiling R50. 3 local HVAC contractors all quoted right around an 80-90K btu radiant tube heater and a 225-250K btu hanging heater (Modine or Reznor). I am in Mid-Michigan if that helps at all.
Needless to say I went with the radiant. The radiant cost a little more but I think it was worth it. I did end up with a 125K btu model with 40ft of tube. It will bake you out of there if you want it to.
I keep it at 40-45F when I am not out there for a few days and 65F when I am.
With almost no R value on the walls, and a R6 on the ceiling, you are going to need a fat wallet to keep that place warm, unless you are only going to heat it on occasion. But then you will have sweating issues every time you cycle the temp up and down.
