Default confused about greenhouse heaters

Apologies if this is a recurring post and I haven't looked through past
posts properly.
I am trying to decide which electric heater to buy for a fairly big
greenhouse (18' x 10') but a quick look at TwoWests catalogue shows 9
different heaters which vary from £41 to £259, and I can't see what is so
different about them to warrant the huge price difference. The choices are
(a) tubular heaters which fair enough are different, (b) fan heaters with
tubes (c) fan heaters without tubes. Has anyone any recommendations? I don't
really have roof space to hang a heater, it will need to go underneath the
benches, and I just want to keep the temp. through the winter at 8 to 10
degrees C. Heaters would not be used in summer.
The greenhouse is well insulated.
Many thanks!
Paul
