I've also used the Zoo Med UTH's and the Cobra heat pads by T-Rex with no problems over the years. The Cobra heat pads don't stick to the bottom of the cage. You just attach them with foil tape. I like that they don't stick so you can move them to be used on other enclosures. I've got a couple that are close to 10 years old and look like they did when they were new(although it might be about time to retire them just to be safe since they are fairly old). I've seen a lot of cheaper looking heat pads at shows and pet shops but stay away from them.
I think one good safty habit is too use the best products you can and not go the cheap route. Also doing things like using foil tape under heat tape instead of putting the heat tape directly onto wood, melamine or plastic.
