Great suggestions jrref
Do not pick the smallest unit such that there is little reserve capacity when there are multiple weeks of very hot weather. Spend the extra money for a size larger than the minimum for your square footage, with the dehumidifying capacity as well.
For FL, minimum would be a 3 ton unit for 2,000 sq ft, 3.5 ton is better and up to 4 ton unit for slightly larger houses.
This is one of the items which skimping on size/price is probably not the area you want to be cheap
YMMV
