My preference would be a fan heater no more than 2kW maximum as it would help to heat up a tent quicker than an oil heater.
However, with a moving mechanical fan, it can be too noisy for some.
Look for features such as thermostatic control, dual heat output, anti-trip, overheat safety cut out, fan-only option (for summer use) etc..
I did not find a fan heater being noisy as I was used to the humming noise coming out of my thermo-electric coolbox.
I used it in the inner tent overnight set at about 18degC without any issues.
I have never used an oil heater so I can't comment about them.
