Hi Joman, you'll need to implement a pid of some kind, and of course tune the loop for your application.

Have a look here engineering.stackexchange.com/q/23651

The output type doesn't matter if is a digital output. If you use proportional valve you'll certainly have a better response and less error, but for your task on/off valve should do fine.
