Thermomstats will regulate the heat better, you just get it set to the temp you need and it takes care of it. With a dimmer switch or rheostat you will get fluctuations as the room temperature raises and lowers, you do have to check them periodically. I have both and definately prefer the thermostats and will eventually have them on all my tanks.
