If you are using a thermostat, there shouldn't be much of a different between heat tape and cable. Both are pretty damn efficient at making heat. Even if the heat tape is 10 watts per foot and the heat cable is 20 watts per foot, the heat cable won't have to run at it's full power to maintain the same temp as the heat tape. The difference wouldn't be noticed in your bill.
