We used a Coleman Powercat last spring. The forced air heated our 10X10 tent up in a couple of minutes.

I wouldn't run any propane heater all night inside a tent. Just for a few minutes to take the chill off while you get in/out of bed.

The Zodi is the exception to this. It's combustion chamber is outside the tent. A heat exchanger heats the air and blower circulates it in and out of the tent. The bad news is if the battery goes dead they self destruct. With no air flow the heat exchanger melts down.
