Tankless Hot Water Heater: A lot of development of this product since it came out in the US market. Any general thoughts about tankless vs gas fired hot water heater? Do you think the cost is worth it? Maintenance issues/concerns? Other thoughts? Thank you.

Redoing plumbing in the house due to mineralized joints and frozen multi-turn valves. Adding in a new water softener, but stuck on best way to provide enough hot water. One issue is basement clearance is 60”, so that knocks out most hybrid heat pump heaters. Fuel available is electric. I...
