Any kind of non-clumping, clay-free litter will work just fine. Check your pet store for "Critter Litter" a brand made just for Ferrets and other small animals. It's made of recycled newspaper pellets and special odor absorbers.
Yesterdays News is also good and cheaper than Marshall litter, which is the same thing.
Worlds Best cat litter is amazing at odor control but expensive.
I now use woodstove pellets, I can get a 40lb bag for $5

Is first step okay to use in the bottom of your ferret cage?
If First Step is a type of clay cat litter, then no. Ferrets like to snorkel and dig in their litter and clumping/clay cat litters may stick to a ferret's nose or bottom, causing issues. The best type of litter to use is a pelleted litter like Fresh News, Yesterdays News, Marshall ferret litter, or woodstove pellets

Standard cat litter trays are ideal. More important is the type of litter you use - it must be the non-clumping type, as clumping litter can collect about the ferret's anus (due to them being much lower to the ground than a cat) and in extreme cases cause fatal intestinal blockage.

How do you convert a Shed into a ferret home like will it need heating ect...?
A shed would not be an ideal home for a pet ferret as they are domesticated animals and very susceptible to weather and predators. I would suggest researching first before you get a ferret. An ideal habitat for a ferret would be a large cage with lots a blanks and hammocks. Also a litter box with wood pellet litter rather then regular cat litter because it can cause breathing issues as they will like to dig and play in it. Best advice would be to talk to a shelter... there are plenty around that has a lot of experience to assist.
