re: Water heater- gas or electric?

I do agree that gas is the way to go...a little higher upfront, but overall cost to operate is lower and also recovery time is much faster...
I am not ready to recommend tankless over a tank, though, as I have had a couple of friends who had bad experiences out of the tankless recently...

It's leaking pretty good.

Yeah, if it's leaking then a new one is your only option. Go back with gas for sure, especially since all the lines are already there.

Gas works when the power is off. After the ice storms last week, this should be the deciding factor. Having hot water makes the difference between a minor inconveience and an ordeal.

To save yourself $$$ - go back with the same size tank you have now - if you go from 40 to 50 gallon - you will have to change out some fittings and probably piping. You said your time at this house would be about another two years.

If this can be done, I highly suggest it. More upfront, but more efficiency long term,, which brings up another point. If you only plan on being in that house for a few years, I'd just replace with a regular gas heater.

New construction I would go tank-less.
Yes they could be a pain to repair compared to a tank unit parts wise, but labor wise they are easier, and more efficient and work very well.

Is it leaking from a valve?
If not it needs to be replaced.

agreed, takes a little while to get it going, but once it's going, you can't stop it.
