I use ZooMed heat pads exclusively in my melamine rack setups. I generally only use the 4x5 size and I order several at a time from one of the online pet supply sources. This allows me to rearrange and expand my collection quickly and inexpensively.
You have to be careful because they can get too hot if there isn't room for some air circulation. The tubs I use, Sterilte 41 qt., are raised a little at the bottom and this seems to be enough. I also use several layers of newsprint which diffuses some of the heat. I don't use thermostats or rheostats, but I may add some for safety. I would't suggest using any size pad larger than the 4x5 unless you leave a significant air gap.
