The powersun Mercury vapor bulbs produce both heat and UVB so are good as basking light and UVB light.
The repti-sun bulbs are good UVB producing bulbs but are no good as a basking spot so you will need to set up a regular lightbulb to serve as heat. I am not familier with the Active UV heat so don't know if it will be good or not. Only bulb I know that can produce proper amounts of UVB and produce heat, are mercury vapor bulbs, so if the packaging says it is a mercury vapor bulb and produces uvb, it will probably good, especially if uvb outage is over 8u (the u is a slightly different symbol but don't know a way to reproduce how it looks here)
