Coolant or oil pan heater?

[EDIT: disregard... a thread already exists on almost this exact question. Ugh. Here is the link to a thread on this: http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...tml#post269415]

Which do you use? Which do you think is better? I'm considering this for my car: Model 9.1 125 Watt - 120 Volt - 1.0 Amp. My coolant and IAT temps were 48* this morning. I know that sounds like Spring to you Northerners (BTW, I grew up in the cold). But it's fairly cold here, and it weakens FE and comfort.

Would love to hear your opinions and experiences.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
