AP T8 Best Heat Methods??? +GoodQuality/LowPriceThermostat?

depends on the temp in the room. Mine's set to 97* and gets the cage floor to 90*-91*, but FWIW I'm also just using an Exo Terra Desert UTH currently. That's the bottom cage of the two that I've got stacked. Top one is using an RHP

And like you said, your room is at 79°, so that helps. Someone with a colder room would need their heat tape at a higher temp in order to get their floor temp to 90°. Just something to think about.

Exactly. I know others on here have to set their thermostats in the low 100s to get surface temps of 90*ish. Mine fluctuates depending on what the weather is like from day to day. Generally it's somewhere between 95*-103* to get 90* cage floor temps.
