I think a RHP is the most efficient heat source but I've also used UTHs and CHEs successfully in my AP enclosures. It's really a matter of personal preference.

Id go with a RHP. However in order for anyone to help you decide what they think the best route is, you need to provide the temps of your house for summer/winter. Does your heat go down to 60 at night etc...

It will do it all. At that room temp (68+) the RHP placed on the hot side will give you 90 and in the process make the cool side 78-80.
