Something that you can do to help your temps is to get a bigger UTH. Look for a size that will cover somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2 of the floor space. Also, make sure that your substrate on the hot side is only about 1/2 to 1 inch thick.

I agree, maybe 11" flexwatt? That can be purchased at reptile basics.
