Block or dipstick heater?

Anyone use either an oil dipstick or block heater? Or have any recommendations? I am calling the kind that goes into the radiator hose a block heater.

Getting that time here in CT - overnight temps down in the teens. Thinking about going to 5-20 at next oil change. Also, I am in the habit of using a piece of cardboard to restrict airflow to the radiator when temps get below freezing. Any thoughts on that?
Thanks,
Gumby_CT
