I have a rack without the heat tape recessed and one that is. They work pretty much the same.

2"-4" foil tape is the preferred method from what I've seen. The stuff is super sticky and when mounted like this usually does a good job with minimal wear and tear.

If you're concerned about the tubs wearing down the heat tape over time sliding over it, on our melamine rack I cut strips of plastic vertical blinds so that they just cover the area the tub's edges slide over on either side and taped them down. It's very thin so it's still super close to the heat tape, but stops tubs actually sliding directly on it.

Many would suggest not using foil tape accept on the element free areas of film. If you wear though it would short on the metal tape.
