    Fan heaters are better as the cause air to circulate. Heating can cause condensation due to the difference in temperature inside and out, so adding in air circulation lowers mildew problems.

    Should add that a thermostatically controlled fan heater is best - set to 5C with a view of the min temp in greenhouse going to 4C or so.
