A heating pad is much more durable than an electric blanket because it doesn't get folded or rolled up. The worse thing for an e/b is to get folded up and then sat on or stored under a stack of other blankets.
Electric pads are more efficient too. Heat rises and is contained by your bed covers. More of the heat from an electric blanket will dissipate above you. Also, zone control on a pad is more effective since the pad will usually stay put all night long.
