My favorite water heater is the Isotherm Spa series. Stainless tank, 750 watt element, heat exchanger and a mixing valve.
The mixing valve is nice in that it lets you heat the water much higher than is safe but it mixes cold with the hot as it comes out of the tank bringing it down to a safe temperature. That way you get a lot of usable hot water from a small tank.
The Spa series of water heaters is not cheap, it falls kind of in the middle price wise.
I may be biased as I sell these but I sell these because I really think they are a good value for my customers.
