This is a post a did a little while ago if you skip down about half way i get into thermostat types and brands. But for a CHE i use the zoo-med ones. Any reptile CHE i would think would be okay depending on the wattage.
As long as you have the correct wattage (che size needed) and your not overpowering your fixture any CHE will do no need to pay more for a certain brand that does the same thing I have 2 150w che I've been using for coming up on 3 years no problems
The thermostat I use is a hydrofarm jump start it's meant for seedlings but it's very accurate and digital plus 20 dollars cheaper then reptile based ones I also have a zilla thermostat that isn't in use just as a back up it isn't digital and was more expensive
Best thermostat IMO is the Herpstat. I have 3 of them and they are spot on accurate, every single one of them. Not on the cheap side, but you get what you pay for.
