Default What is the best Seedling Heat Mat?

I bought one of these for my husband after I killed his old one using it for seeds. I borrowed it from him last year and it worked great for all my seed starting where heat was needed.

This year he's still recovering from shoulder surgery and needs it from time to time, so I bought myself a couple of the cheap heat mats from Amazon that come as s kit with thermostats for $25. I'm using them under the trays with my pepper seeds and they're working beautifully, but I've only had them on for a couple of days so far.
