Ok, well having accidentally ignited what apparently is a chronic and
highly thermal debate on tank vs. tankless, let's say for the moment that
I am sold on the tank option.

For a gas supplied house (from town, not a propane tank), are there any
particularly good brands suggested in the 60 to 80 gal range?

Any brands to stay away from is also appreciated information.

the gook is in your water anyway, and some areas are much worse than
others.

Sears is probably the last place to buy from, they charge more for
everything, espically service.

having gone thru this in the past the best prices are likely home
depot or lowes...... if you have them install you know they will be
there if theres a problem

and again your better off buying a HIGH BTU tank. 75,000 BTU makes a
tremendous difference.

compare the FIRST HOUR RATINGS. buy the largest you can.

the big thing is check dimensions, so the one you buy will fit........

and dont worry about the tank vs tankless flame war, its a regular
feature here and nothing in comparison to knob and tube wiring causes
homeowners insurance issues. thats far worse...
