Regulating the Temp with a UTH

I'm getting my first leopard gecko this weekend which also means that I will have to purchase my first UTH. Honestly a UTH makes me a little nervous.

How exactly do you regulate the temperature with one? I have been told about rheostats (or something) but if I have to buy that AND the UTH it's going to cost me close to $100.

I know there HAS to be another way to do it.

I will be housing my leo in a 10g and I plan on using slate tile as the flooring. If I get the smallest UTH and place it under one half of the tank will the slate help to distribute the heat? Will I have to worry about it getting too hot?

This is why I prefer to use bulbs with my other herps...you can just change the wattage with those.

Ugh.... so nervous. I want everything to go well for me.
