I have the Aqueon 50 watt preset (to 78) heater and it's the perfect size but doesn't believe up to the task. It has to be small around 7 or 8" or under ideally.

5 gal. Room temp will be around 73-75. I have an inkbird controller for a heater.
Since you have an inkbird any heater will do (for now) these preset small heaters are cheaper than cheap even compared to regular cheap aquarium heaters. I have a 10w heater that was cooking a 2 gallon before I put an inkbird on it. Another 10w that I've only had for a few months has already died.
I've used a few different types this year and they all seem unreliable and accurate. I would pick whatever one you can hide best in the tank, put it on the inkbird and buy a second one to replace it when it fails. At least with the inkbird it will fail off not on.
About to try the Hydor Theo 25 watt heater.
I'll probably get a 25 watt Jager in the future if the Hydor fails on my but dang $36+ is expensive for a 25 watt heater.
