    It depends if you are using belly heat or back heat. I use 4" flexwatt for belly heat.

    3" to 4" for belly heat is what we use for our collection.

    I know some people use them and are happy with them however I have heard that an on off type stat will burn out your flexwatt quicker than a helix. There are people on both sides so I would say you are safe with them We use Helix because we like the control it gives and they are high quality
