Only thing I would say to you is...
You get what you pay for. You're buying a $40 t-stat and that's exactly what you will get. I'm not saying it won't do the job but remeber that if and when it craps out.
I don't know what your budget is but I would try to save the money for something a little more high end.

Unfortunately, I'm a jobless high school student (a situation I have been hoping to change lol) and I make my money babysitting, so that is a little bit out of the question :/. I would love to be able to afford something like that but as it stands, I don't see it being plausible. My parents would never go for paying for something like that, as opposed to a vet visit or something which they would certainly pitch in for if I was dirt broke and couldn't afford it.
One of the reasons that I haven't bought the thermostat yet is because if by some miracle I have an extra chunk of money by June or so, I was going to go ahead and get a pre-wired Ranco or Johnson because I hear those are another decent option without being too extremely pricey.

With the heat mat ur getting a thermostat is not needed. Just as an FYI it peaks out at 95. But my vote is for the 11x11 the other one seems to big. Compare it to a 20 gallon pad and it's huge.

Really?
That makes things a lot easier if that's the case.
And I might go down to the 11x11". Once I got out the measuring tape, 11x17" looked pretty huge..
