Hope this helps with your questions and good luck with your setup.
Wow, You went all the way. Great stuff you have there.....When you get more snakes and switch to racks, those t-stats will be able to run a bunch of tubs!

to OP: I would go with UTH and T-stat, just make sure you get a UTH that covers 1/3rd to 2/3rds(correct me if I'm wrong) of the tub. Lights and CHEs just cause too many headaches IMO..
