"The heater(s) chosen should be sized at 2 to 3 watts per gallon...."

A small heater is more likely to get stuck in the on position IMO.

Trying to heat a large amount of water means that the small heater has to stay on longer, increasing the chances for the contacts in to be fused together. (Always in the on position)

Just my opinion though.
