I think it depends on the space, the unit, the manufacturer, ceiling height, etc. Cubic feet should also be taken into consideration.
I'm having a ductless Mini-Split installed this week in a 300 square foot room and chose a 12,000 BTU AC/Heat Pump. The heating most likely won't be necessary (as the reason for the unit is to cool the room, regardless of the exterior climate) but a 9,000 BTU unit would have needed to work harder than the 12,000.
Also, this particular unit is 12,000 BTU cooling but 15,000 BTU heating. It's an LG and has a SEER rating of 20, so it should be very efficient, energy-wise.
