What is cheaper for you to access? That is your answer.

Coal is way cheaper than propane for me. I could have a pallet of 1000kg for 800 bucks delivered and forget about it for years.

Unless you have a dedicated blacksmith shop or plan on using the forge outside I would recommend propane just for the cleanliness aspect. If you're forging in a crafty wooden shed then it probably doesn't matter though.

Semi-related. I have multiple Fresnel lenses. Could I use them for forging?

It doesn't have to melt it, but yes
