What's everyone's thought on a good temperature controller? Was looking into the AquaLogic controllers but I'm not sure there worth the money over something like an InkBird thoughts?

I use Inkbird 306T
Inkbird 308, all you want and need. I don't think the 306T has the low temperature alarm, but I may be wrong.
+1 for Inkbird

I prefer the Golander 101 PID controller. Can have the PID calibrate and hold temperature within a fractional degree.
Someone have a link for the correct inkbird? I'm running a 300watt jager.
Amazon has them. I run two heaters on mine. They are rated for 1000w

Do they plug into the same outlet or one on the "heating" and other into the "cooling" outlet? I've never used one of these before and was just wondering why they have a cooling AND a heating option, especially where we'd (presumably) want to use them both for heating...
I have the model that has two heating outlets but that model doesn't have the audible low temp alarm. Didn't know that until after purchasing. If you want to run two heaters on a unit with heating and cooling outlets then just use an outlet splitter on the heating outlet. It's always good to have a backup heater in case of failure of one
Also people will use them in different ways. Some will set the controller and have it power the heaters off and on. I prefer to set my heaters to the temp I want and use the controller as a fail safe.
You will want to use some thermometers and or temp gun to properly calibrate the controller probe.
