I'm guessing you compared the price of 100' of UF to 250' of NM...

The Wire is run and connected but I have not flipped on the breaker to the
Hot Water Heater yet. My plumbing skills have been tested and a small leak
has developed on the Treaded Portion of the Hot Water Heater.... Of course I
did not let the thread seal cure for 48 Hrs... I am hoping giving it time to
seal will do the trick... Anyone have any view on Thread Seal and How long
it usually takes to seal the thread?

If it's leaking, that means you didn't tighten the joint enough. Doesn't
matter how long you wait, it isn't going to seal.
