Both will do fine.
I use a heat lamp but both work.

get a heat pad a digital themometer with a probe and a lamp dimmer and try to regulate the hot side between 90-92degrees with the dimmer dont really need a lamp, i have some red lights i keep way above my cages so they dont really produce much heat but are good for night veiwing

Leopard geckos need belly heat, not overhead heat. Period.

I agree.

Also, I dont recommend dimmers for UTH's. They are not relyable when the room temp changes.
You should spend the extra $$$$ and get a good thermostat!!
