I have a ZooMed under tank heat pad on a home-made malmite (white pressboard) enclosure and a Nature's Heat under tank heater on a 10 gallon (38L) glass aquarium. I also use incandescent IR bulbs (no under tank heater) on a large plastic enclosure with a screen-top lid and IR bulbs over other screen-top glass enclosures.

It seems like I've been able to regulate the temp throughout the enclosure a bit better using IR bulbs and rheostats than I've been able to with heat pads, but sometimes the lights are just impractical for my enclosures.
