I don't have much experience with the smaller / portable units, but I have a Hesaire 5300 CFM portable thats in a veg room and it's fucking sweet, I only ever run it on low and it's plugged into an inkbird humidistat. It doesn't have to run much to keep the RH% up when the plants are small.
You connect the float valve to water and it stays topped off. Most of them have analog switches so they auto restart after a power outage (can be run on a controller).
Thing about an evaporative cooler (or swamp cooler) is it's WAY more efficient at getting water into the air, because it's actually trying to cool the air with the water. So you can't beat them when it comes to room sized grows.
My flowering rooms have window mount swampers that work really well. Not only do you get a RH% boost but it aids on cooling when it's humidifying.
This one is my veg unit (it's overkill)
This one might be more your size:
I would never buy a humidifier unless it's for a childs room or you are stuck in a tent without a lung room to run the cooler in. For a grow room I would use an evaporative cooler as my humidifier everytime.
