really matters little, only 3 US manufacturers. Buy from big box store
for slightly better prices. Newer tanks are foam insualted for energy
savings. Buying a more expensive tank gets you things like brass drain
valve, WAY better than plastic ones.
Look at first hour ratings and get the biggest tank that will
physically fit the space, to avoid running out of hot water and with a
nice long warranty for better stronger tank.
the cheapest anything is rarely a good deal long run, built to meet a
absolute price point, and the most expensive is for luxury buyers. mid
priced everything appears the best deal.
