Please recommend a thermostat

[Edwin]

Does anyone have any suggestions on what type/brand of thermostat to buy? My terrarium is heated with a 100w ceramic heat emitter, and the temps get way too high during the day (almost 100 deg F).

Which brand would you buy? I know that proportional thermostats are superior, but would an analog one be OK? I have a limited budget. Any help is greatly appreciated.


This what I have so far:

Digital Proportional Thermostats (Helix, Big Apple):
Pros:
Maintains temperature by regulating currents
Cons:
Very pricey, almost impossible to find in Canada


Analog Thermostats (Alife etc.)
Pros:
Cheap, readily found in almost all petstores. Controls temps by turning the current on/off.
Cons:
On/Off function does not regulate temps all that well. It can also be annoying if attached to a light bulb, as it will keep on turning on and off. The on/off might also shorten the life of the heat element.
