Cheap thermistor vs 1-Wire DS18B20?

[jra]

The last time I actually used a thermistor was back in graduate school during the Carter administration when linearization was accomplished via suitable selection of a series or parallel resistor.  State of the art has advanced somewhat since then. I would look for a library that uses the Steinhart-Hart equation if you can determine/calculate the coefficients for the thermistor you plan on using.

All the ones I saw cited the Steinhart-Hart equation.  This library looked interesting: https://github.com/YuriiSalimov/NTC_Thermistor because the constructor used standard thermistor parameters (from the Thermistor datasheet) for setting the equations internally and the methods were straightforward.  That his Fritzing diagram is incorrect is bothersome...
