Propane
We got a propane fire pit 2-3 years ago to replace a steel drum type fire pit. It is about 3' on a side with the tank contained inside, fire on top. When you sit back in an Adirondack chair, you can't see the fire. The steel drum style had cut out bears on the sides that sort of danced as the flames moved around. Used the propane pit only once. My grand niece and friends used it every night. Went through one 20 lb. tank in a few days.
Other family members have smokeless "canisters' which work, but if you want to watch dancing flames, not so good. So, there are some personal preferences here. I'd choose whatever is safest for an untrained tenant to use.
