    With rack designs that are more open (Freedom Breeder, ARS, Fusion, Animal Plastics economy line) you'll want consistent room temps in the high 70's to 80 degrees.

    Enclosed racks (Animal Plastics, RBI) hold heat better, and are more suited to maintaining cool side temps in rooms that are kept at lower temperatures, or the temperature fluctuates.

    Either design can be suplemented with a low wattage flexwatt on the cool end, controlled by a separate thermostat (or one thermostat with multiple probes).
    Ok so from the information that you've gave me I believe my best bet would be the enclosed racks (animal plastics, RBI). My house can get pretty cold.
