It depends. If it's for a BoB then a long burning survival candle is the answer. For around the house, tea lights are hard to beat for cheapness.

I have about 300 or so tealight candles.
Thinking of buying a few more.
-Tealight candles can be put into oil burners which then turn into "little stoves"
-They are very cheap
-In the right lantern holder thing they create a nice funnel of heat that can be used to warm your hands, dry cloths, stick in your shirt to warm up and cook marshmallows
-Infinite shelf life (I believe)
-If you shut yourself in a small room and light about 10 of them it will warm the room up, but its probably not the best/cheapest/safest way of doing such a thing.
