Mat stat for heat mats and pulse for ceramic. There are dimmer stats too that you use for bulbs.

That device is listed as an 'on/off' type of thermostat, which means that it doesn't act the same as a dimmer but more like a pulse stat or a matstat

and what is better for an incubator a mat stat or a pulse stat

It really depends what you want to heat.

A pulse is the most accurate type of stat, but you can't really use it with a light type heat source, or your room will look like a rave. You'd need a dimmer for a heat bulb.

Mat stats are only good for mats, but the temperature will fluctuate quite a bit.
