Big factor for me is with a tank you have hot water during power outages
that lasts at least a day, if you use it reasonably.Â* You could even
take a couple of very quick showers if necessary.Â* And with natural gas
and a basic tank type with a pilot light, you have unlimited hot water.

That (having hot water during a power outage) is important for me too.
Also, power outages often happen on the coldest days.

just curious, when the power goes out, short of a hurricane, how long
does that last and if it lasts days, does the ability to pump water
still exist?

With town wter it is pumped as they have backup power. My tank would
last a couple of days.
