Default Choosing a new boiler?

I'm getting quotes on a new boiler. Our current HB smith is 17 years old and
has alot of corrosion between the 4th and 5th plates. I'm told it could last
1 month or 5 years??? Also the tankless coil needs replacing. The boiler is
in a crawl space so the size is an issue.
17 years ago there was no internet to do any research but now I've been
looking up these boilers.
of course they all praise their own products. I'm hoping one of you may have
an opinion for the following quotes I've recieved so far.

Thanks for any input

Steve
