HELP with Heating????

Hi
Iam soon to build two new enclosures for the coastal carpet and a bredli which i am yet to buy. These enclosures are going to be 900mm (long) x 450mm (high) x 400mm (deep) and will be banked.

My first question is:
Which method of ventilation would you consider most effective?
1) Plastic Vents - A vent at each side of the enclosure.
2) Pegboard Back - Entire back made from pegboard.

I am leaning toward the plastic vents as they are much more attractive but am worried they will not provide enough ventilation. What is your opinion?

My second question is:
What method of heating would you consider most effective?
1) Standard bayonet fitting with a ordinary blue light bulb.
What watage would you suggest and does this provide enough heat?
2) Edison Screw fitting.
What sort of bulb would you suggest?

If anyone could PLEASE take the time to help it would be highly appreciated as i am very confused...

Thanks,
Nick
