A lot of it has to do with the voltage the element is rated at- an element rated at 115 volts, 325 watts will be the same as a 120 volt 354 watt element.
I would go for a resistance of 44 ohms- no less.


I believe you will find the resistance is temperature dependant. Checking it cold with an ohmmeter will not give valid results. Best to use a clamp on ammeter.
