If there is no thermostat, it makes no difference. IE 1kw=1kw! If there is a thermostat, go for Oil filled. The Oil retains the heat much better so will continue to give off warmth whilst the thermostat is allowed to switch off the power more often.

What are the useful properties of liquids in liquid radiators?
Liquid filled heaters use an electric element to warm water or oil which in turn heats a radiator creating natural convective air currents in the room. The thermal mass of liquid holds heat well, minimizing fluctuations in temperature. While liquid-filled heaters maintain their heat for a long period, they also take longer to heat up and therefore are no more efficient than non-liquid filled models. The liquids should have/be: - Low viscosity. - Do not attack materials of the radiator chemically. -Not combustible or explosive.
