It just seems like a tub is the easier way to go for a beginner. And the heat tape and all sounds a bit complicated for my level right now.
Believe me, heat tape (or flexwatt) isn't all that complicated.
As another poster already said, you can have it all wired up and sent to you. If you're going to be moving up to bigger tubs,
I'd reccomend it instead of an UTH. Trying to move a UTH from one tub to another is horribly tricky, because if you just pull it off,
it might not work properly after that, or you might have some
serious hot spots due to broken wires inside it.
With flexwatt, you just gently peel off the tape around it, and you're good to go for as many tubs as you need to upgrade to.

Just my 2 cents.
