Turns out one of the main ducts that's feeds air to half of the house was not fully attached let alone sealed. I bought a roll of the foil tape and mastic, applied and installed where it was applicable and experienced a noticeable difference. I plan to install some fiberglass insulation in the basement walls and floors of the living room (basement ceiling) I installed hard foam in the floor joists and insulated that too. Definitely a noticeable impact, and my gas and electric bills are lowering because everything is holding temps steady
Infrared heaters will add a layer of warmth to people and things that they are pointed at within range. They make you feel warm. They work well in a room pointed where you know people will be spending time.
Baseboard radiators heat all the surrounding air. They work best to heat a whole small room.
If you're looking for efficiency, invest in insulation and sealing the cracks under doors, and get heaters that have smart, effective thermostats with heat recovery features (none come to mind).

About the same, 1500w is 1500w when it comes to resistive heating. Only perk is you can put it where the existing heating doesn't do a good job.

1500W is 1500W. You cannot have a more or less efficient electric space heater. They will all be 100% efficient at converting the same amount of power into the same amount of heat. If you want higher than 100% efficiency you have to look into heat pumps
Theres been a few companies like eden pure that have claimed their electric heaters are more efficient because of x reason, but if their claims are true they would be violating the laws of physics. Although it seems as a lot of people have fallen for these marketing BS claims

IR heaters will not heat up a room or the air within that room. The IRR mostly passes through air, not heating the air but will heat other materials such as furniture or your body. This heating, if extreme, can cause fires or dangerous skin burns.
It doesn't have a reflecting dish and the line of sight to the IR bulb is tiny, so it's almost certainly going to function no different than a resistive heater for all intents and purposes. It's generating the heat differently, but it's still heating the room with hot air.
