I've used infrared, really good for making a person or area warm that it is pointed at. I personally don't like the "cooking me" feeling of an infrared pointed toward me. What I prefer are oil filled space heaters. They heat up, nearly all have 3 heat settings where low is around 400 watts, medium 800, and high closer to 1500 IIRC. They don't project the heat like a resistance heater with a fan but the key is to turn it on before you are using the room and leave it on if you are only going out of the room for a few hours. They are completely safe while other space heaters are not.
