Lower radiator hose is not quite as efficient as a block heater but ease of installation of the hose heater wins the day.
In my experience, oil pan heaters are not worth a pinch of **** in a fertilizer factory, except as diesel fuel tank warmers.

x2.
If you already have a block heater but no cord you can buy a new one from the dealer for around $40.
