I have two finnex probes attached to a third party controller: so far so good, just haven't used them long enough to give them the thumbs up (or thumbs down for that matter).
I can say though, their heaters that come with controllers are a bit pricey for what you get, and their external analog/dial controller is very innacurate.
What is so nice about the Jagers is they can be calibrated.
Using 5 jagers, 1 visitherm, 1hydor theo. I have some of those 100w jagers in 5-10g tanks and have never had an issue with unstable temp.
Bishop, for years I thought they were the best for the money, still have several visitherms working, someone said to me once to change them every 3 years to be on the safe side. No one is using fluval heaters(pricey)? I do not like it when you have restrictions like do not fill above the line, fully submersible is easier to use.

I use them, I love them. I think they are great. I have a filstar xp3 so it works as an inline for me (you can get the kit to use it on any canister filter for about $13) I havn't had to readjust the dial to maintain temp, it holds where set. The first one I had I used for two and a half years before I ruined it, ran it too long with a water level too low, even then it still worked properly untill I unplugged it (had to move tank, when I plugged it back in, it was whacky.....).
