I'm assuming this will work with a heater that doesn't have it's own thermostat and requires a controller?

Yes. You can use it to control a heater with no built in thermostat. I use it as a primary controller with my heaters set 1 degree higher as a backup safety.

Should I get the 306a or the 308s? Please advise

The best of the two units is the 308. If the temperature drops below a certain point ( which YOU set on the unit) the heater will turn on and bring the temperature up to where you want it. Now if the temperature rises and needs to be brought down then (if YOU are using a chiller or you are using cooling fans they will come on) again YOU will set that temperature for when it goes over a certain degree. Like if you don't want the temperature to go over lets say 80*. The moment that the unit reaches 79.5* it should come on to cool what ever you want. It will stay on until it reaches the temperature that you set on the unit. Lets say you set it to 77* it will cool down to that temperature. You have to make the settings with the 308 it is not set for you, you have to make the settings

Is there a way of tracking on the app when heater is activated?

No. Only could check the temperature fluctuation via the INKBIRD app.
