Hi @Newgreenthumb,
Typically, a bucket vacuum would the most appropriate machine to clean up debris in a garage or workshop. They are more powerful than a standard vacuum, have a large storage bucket or can be used with bags, and are more robust. They deal easily with chunkier material and sharp debris, and some have a wet function for sucking up spills.
Generally, leaf blowers/vacs are best used for leaves. They don't run the same type of dust filter as a normal vacuum cleaner. Although you will pick up debris with one in the garage, you'll find dust won't be captured all that efficiently.
Let me mention a few of our helpful members @redracer01, @TedBear, @r23on, @woodenwookie, @prettyliving, @diy_hausdesigns, @JoeAzza and @DIYgals, to see what they use around their garage and workshop.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

I am using a small wet/vac Ozito vacuum cleaner with a cyclonic type collection bucket, this is used so the small vacuum cleaner doesn’t get filled up too quickly, I use it for all my dust collection on machinery, for cleaning the floor, I just use a broom at the end of the day.
The Ozito wet dry vac will vacuum the floor also.
