I haven't heard of either of those, so I couldn't recommend either. I've seen indigo eggs incubated in very expensive and very inexpensive systems.
I don't think that perfect prescision is needed with indigo eggs. Just keep the temps and humidity within the ok range and you should be... Ok.

Humidity- Damp but not wet. I don't have an accurate humidity guage so I really don't know.

I agree that Indigo and most colubrid eggs are not real fussy, they tolerate some fluctuations in temps and therefore the usually less expensive pulse type thermostats are OK. I once hatched a clutch of Indigo eggs at room temperature on a high shelf, no incubator, so a lot of methods may work. I now have an AVEY ice chest type incubator,originally made for aviculture, and it is working well. It has an alarm if the temps vary too much, I think a worthwhile feature.
