So, it's time to replace our water heater. Our current water heater is an AO Smith 50 gallon propane unit with a power vent. It's about 12 years old.
We're strongly considering a tankless unit, but I don't really know what's a good unit and what isn't so I'd definitely appreciate some input from anyone who does.
Here are a few I've found that seem to be a good match for our needs.
First, this Richmond unit from Menards. They have an 11% rebate right now, so that would certainly be nice. They also have this unit in stock. I could go buy this one right now and install it tomorrow. No one else locally has anything in stock, I'd have to order it.

Home Depot has this Rheem unit which seems to get decent reviews on their website.

This AO Smith unit is the one I'm leaning towards right now. It's on eBay, but the seller is a reputable plumbing supply dealer.

I've never heard of Navien before, but this looks to be another unit that would be a good match for our needs.

Any other recommendations would definitely be welcome.
Or, if anyone has a compelling reason why we should stick with a traditional tank unit, I'd definitely welcome those comments too.
Thanks!
