His first choice was 8/3 cable, and the #6 Aluminum SER that I suggested
is equivalent but might be a lot cheaper.

His original choice was 12-2 UF. He even bought the cable .
You can't use 12 guage wire for a subpanel because the minimum feeder
size is 30A. He might could run a 12/3 edison circuit instead of a
subpanel; it kind of depends on whether that electric heater is 120V or
240V. (Technically it could still be done as a 20A branch circuit if it
has both 120V and 240V loads, but I don't believe that's code compliant.)
