temperature control for beginners

Pardon my ignorance please, guys. I am VERY new to this. I haven't even yet decided upon what reptile I will be housing. HOWEVER, I'm trying to set up everything in advance of any purchase, and the heat source/ control of the environment is confusing me. There seems to be so many options out there, in such a vast price range, with varying features. It's almost like buying a tv these days .

Do I NEED a night drop unit? Am I better off with a mediocre rheostat or simply a dimmer, or should I stick to "tried and true" like Helix? If I decide to acquire different species with different needs, must I buy a new rheostat for each enclosure?

I've also been told by some that my insurance is invalid if flexwatt is used here in Canada and it is the cause of a fire. Is this correct, and should I be concerned?

I hope questions like this aren't too "tired". If so, please direct me to the threads which address them, if you would.

thanks, bob
