Should I put a piece of plywood (or something with a little "give")
under the new heater? My concern is that if I don't install the four
12x12" tiles under the heater so they are all the same height, the
weight of the filled 50-gallon heater might crack the highest tile. My
thought is to distribute the weight of the heater more evenly.
I'm not sure if a drip pan is a solution.
Thanks for your advice.

Dont forget a plastic drain tray with hose leading to a drain, save
headaches when it fails, extra wood cant hurt.
Hmmm,
Since tank is not moving around, I'd put 3 hockey pucks under each leg.
