What brand?

I just had a 2,100 SF shop built with 14 foot sidewalls and 19 feet at the peak and currently researching options for cooling / heat without breaking the bank. I did go with insulation during the install, but potentially will supplement that. Shop is in North GA, so not too concerned about heating it, more so cooling. Looking at using several mini splits as I don't think I'd get enough air circulation from a single wall unit. Think I need at least 40,000-50,000 btu. Curious what others have done.

My walls have 1.5" pink foam board between the girts and 5.5" fiberglass wool over that with the white vapor barrier you see in the pics. The ceiling has 24-32" blown in fiberglass.
I need to heat for 6-7 months, so that is the big factor for energy consumption. The A/C is only for when I will be out there also.
