If cooling is your main concern look for the best SEER rating.

If heating is your main concern look for the best HSPF rating.

Mini-splits will cost more than a window or thru-the-wall unit, but they will be more efficient.

For me, at this point, the only reason I would get a window air conditioner would be to make something else out of it.
