For occasional use it is handy to be able to heat the room quickly whenever you get the urge to use it. I'm guessing a room over an unheated attached garage only shares one warm wall with the house, and that may be a short wall. The other three walls, the ceiling and the floor are all cold, so that room will have a lot of heat loss for its 12 X 20 size. That large heat loss will make the room slower to heat to temperature.
Check the BTU output of both types of heat. Does the electric heater put out as many BTUs as the LP heater, or will you need to turn on the electric heat a full day or two before you want to use the room? Baseboard heaters are sized to run nearly 100 percent of the time at the highest heat rise. Forced air units are sized to run about 25 percent of the time under the same conditions, so forced air will normally heat a room faster.
In this day and age, I would want an electronic pilot on any gas heater except maybe a water heater.
