What's a pulse proportional thermostat? The Herpshop site says that their basic wall thermostats are suitable to use with ceramic heat emitters?

A pulse proprtional turns the power on/off when it reaches the desired temp set where as a dimmer turns the power down hence less power usage. The dimmer reduces the hot and cold effect given to the element(in this case) which gives you longer life and a more consistant heat.
A ceramics life span on a dimmer is a recommended 25000hrs.

Cheers Rob
