Re: Temp for 20gal tank??
UTHs are best, but the rest depends on your ambient temps. I live in a friggin' meat locker, so I have to go with overkill on the CHEs to keep Simon's temps at an acceptable level. If you don't happen to cohabitate with the Abominable Snowman, you can probably eliminate some of the wattage.
Essentially, you need whatever heat lamp(s) that is/are necessary to maintain appropriate temps. Not that helpful, but the ambient temps do play a large part in it. Belly temps are easy to maintain with UTHs.
The fewer heat lamps, CHEs, etc. that you use, the fewer issues with humidity you'll have to deal with.

No heat lamp, go UTH.:gj:
