I’ve talked to many plumbers about this and what I’ve learned is that if you don’t have gas, it won’t be as good (on average). New construction with dedicated power is a different story, but retrofits are often limited to whatever the old water heater was using, which by definition isn’t enough. Running new power is likely to be a headache.
Now that you’ve mentioned it, I’ve never considered tankless water heaters being gas powered also as an option. My house is all electric so I only have that variable to deal with.
