Default Glow Plug Preference

Hey All,

I just got back from the hobby shop and I have a quick quesiton. The guy at the hobby shop recommended I run a hot glow plug to increase performance. He said that by running a hot glow plug I wouldn't actually be increasing the running temperature of my engine - is this true?

Also, if running a hot glow plug will increase performance then what purpose do the "cooler" glow plugs serve?

Thanks!
