Heat tape or Heat Mats?

[Shaws_Baws]

Hi guys,

First post here, pls be nice

I'm currently planning and sketching a DYI rack system and I'm stuck on the decision on whether to use individual heat mats or heat tape? What do people suggest? it's going to be 13 tubs high 1 wide.

I also have no experience with using 1 thermostat for multiple mats, how do people do this safely?

I actually watched a video from 'Brian's Boas' last night where he addressed this same question.

I'm not sure if this is the correct video, but if not, search around. It was one of his latest.
