Leos enjoy small spaces, but not TOO small. They are flexible but probably don’t want to cram themselves into something if they don’t have to. Every gecko is different tho.
If you want store bought hides my guys seem to particularly love the different sizes of Exo Terra Gecko Caves. For their warm hides I put them in without the bottoms and they seem to like resting their heads on the openings.
But in reality any space that is dark will work. They just want to feel secure.
They will lay outside their hides at times. I take it as a sign they are comfortable with their environment. One of mine particularly likes laying at the back of his tank under one of his plants.
That's awesome that you moved from sand, it can actually kill leos, particularly babies. The cricket stuff you're using sounds good too!
As for suggestions, definitely the UTH and thermostat combo I linked, since those are both decently priced. I've used these hides and have liked them, but you can definitely get away with just buying the Petsmart/Petco ones and it may be a little cheaper. Likewise, some people just cut opaque tupperware or use broken (but smooth-edged) pots and stuff as well. I even had a friend who made their hides out of legos.
