I don't know about there being a particular brand that's the best. You might not even get a choice since petstores usually don't carry more than one brand. Just make sure you buy a rheostat or thermostat to go with it so you can control the temperature.

Well, I have a rheostat that cost me $20. You just plug the rheostat into the outlet, and plug the UTH into the rheostat. You can actually hook up two UTHs to one rheostat, so it's really handy. I keep the knob at Low-Medium, which is what my leos respond the best to.
If you don't get one, a UTH will automatically heat to the max, which could be pretty dangerous.

Try bigappleherp.com and lllreptile.com. They both have excellent pricing. I use bigapple herp even though I live on the west coast. They have a lot of knowledge.
Good luck
