What Thermostats do you use?
I am getting ready to build out a DIY rack system for BPs and I want to know, what thermostats are you using, do you like/recommend them, and what type of setup are you running them on?

There are a ton of threads on this if you use the search function, but we all enjoy talking about our gear. 
I've always used Johnsons and Rancos and never had any problems. When I end up putting together my incubator I plan on using one of the higher quality Vivarium Electronics (VE 200 or 300 series) T-stats. Next chance I get I plan to order some of the VE-100 from reptilebasics. Rich makes some quality goods. They only cost a few bucks more than the Johnsons and Ranco but they are stackable and look nicer, which is a huge plus to me and many others.

If you want Quality but less expensive, I really like Ranco.
if you want to pay a little more herpstat or Helix are really good.

Re: What Thermostats do you use?
I have 4 Helix to run my racks and one Ranco to regulate my oil filled heater.
My first therm was a helix - it was easy enough to use and I just stayed with them. I've never had any issue with any of them.
