My area to heat/cool is ~588 square feet, which is kind of on the line. I'd love to oversize, but I'm also looking to minimize cost.

If it halved my oil bill then it might pay for itself by springtime. That's a MAJOR bargain! I just have to be sure to get one that is inverter powered, correct?

Placing the outdoor unit near the dryer vent might be asking for problems,
with little micro fibers of lint building up in the coil.

I second the warning, not only lint, but humidity.
