Helix DBS will work very well. There will likely be a difference of 1 or 2 degrees between what your probe reads and the actual temperature, I believe it depends upon the size of the probe, its color, it shape, the material...etc (every material captures heat slightly differently. You will probably never find a probe that reads the exact temperature...but a few degrees is nothing to worry about especially if you offer a gradient and stay within physiologic temperatures.
The benefits of the helix are: they are proportional and they turn themselves off if they malfunction.
I beleive Big apple has also a similar thermostat.
