It's all about the unit and it's efficiency and where/how you are going to use it.
The list goes on with what is the circulation foot print, what kind of insulation do you have, you hit part of it on the tree shade, where will it be located with respect to prevailing winds and sun rise and set, what kind of heat load are you going to put on it with people, cooking and the like, what kind of electrical capacity do you have where you are going to mount it?
The big chain home improvement stores have some really nice, efficient units, at very accommodating prices. Get the highest EER you can without going nuts on the price, and don't get the combo heater/AC if you can help it. The AC will wear out B4 the heater and you spent a lot of money for nothing (my opinion).
And last, get one with electronic controls.....no knobs, just LED lights and push buttons. The reason is that the compressor cycling is controlled with electronic circuits, not manual sensors and mechanical relay contacts. The temperature is maintained much better and the thermostat doesn't wear out because it has no mechanical contacts......in the past, the first thing to fail on any AC, Ref, freezer I ever had.
I'm not going to suggest a rule of thumb size or brand. Best bet is for you to go to a big builders supply and buy one with a customer satisfaction tag. If you don't like it you can bring it back, get your money back and move up (probably) to a higher cooling capacity unit.
But I guarantee you a 5k is too small to do much of anything with other than cool your bathroom.....if it isn't too large. BTDT

Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
