Like slugworth, my Heatmaster tomatoes were slower to germinate than other varieties, but I usually get 100% germination with Heatmaster and they quickly catch up in growth. I only use my heat mats on pepper seed. I germinate in single seed cells and typically don't up pot. My seeding is usually accomplished in one day. From planting, I normally only need to keep them watered and occasionally lower my growing deck below the lights as the plants grow. I start hardening them outside a couple of weeks before plant out. My philosophy for myself has always been "keep it simple, stupid".
