I plan on putting a couple of heaters on my car and trucks, the trannys are definitely getting one.

Right now I have two heaters. I plan on putting both of those on the oil pan. Later, I may put one on the tranny and another one on the differential.
I'm a little confused about what you said about your block heater being good enough for everything. If it's a coolant heater it heats the coolant. If it's an oil heater it heats the oil, etc. A coolant heater won't heat the oil no matter how big it is. Granted, if your coolant heater heats up the coolant and block, your oil will heat up faster once you start the engine, but it hasn't heated the oil or tranny at all (directly).
