Thermostat advice and suggestions

[ChattanoogaDragon]

Hello. I need suggestion/advice on thermostats. I do plan to put my lights and heater on a timer but I'd also like to have the heater on a thermostat in order to prevent overheating. I've seen a few on Amazon, Drs FosterSmith, etc but I'd like to see what all of the more experienced folks are using and get opinions about them.

Thanks in advance!

Ive got some Viv Electronics and one of the cheapy ones from Big Apple Herp. The Viv Elec. ones are quite nice and never had any problems with them, but they are quite a bit more. Having said that, Ive never had any issue with the Big Apple one either. I just feel safer with the Viv Elec. ones for some reason.

Ive heard that the Spyder Robotics ones are really good, though never used one personally. I think Helix is supposed to be a decent brand too. What type of heater are you using?
