Having it running constantly also keeps the spinny bits in the compressor lubricated and at operating temperature. This helps lifespan. A lot of wear happens on startup when the compressor is cold and the lubricant hasn't had a chance to circulate. The smaller unit will use less power than a larger unit since the motor is smaller and it's avoiding a lot of startup current spikes to get the motor spinning.
I'm not a HVAC pro, just a cheapskate who researched the heck out of HVAC stuff to avoid costs on a major house system and stay comfortable.

It will potentially raise the temperature of a basement slightly in the area around the dehumidifier, but if it's working properly it will pull humidity out of the air which should make it fell less like a sauna. A few degrees warmer with a significantly lower humidity should be more comfortable than the opposite. If your basement is still humid then you have an outside source of air (poorly sealed) or the dehumidifier is not large enough.
