Calix and Defa are the most popular in Scandinavia. Don't know if they are available in the US or 120V versions. Anyway, those guys have done quite much research about car heating.

I have 550W Defa-systems in my Citroens and 500W Calix in Saab.

Basically all heaters here are engine block heaters, ie. water heaters. Oil heaters were mainly used in air-cooled Volkswagens.
