Going tankless will be 5x the cost. Stick with tank.

I paid 10k to replace a tankless a few years ago (granted a higher end unit) and that’s with the resident AC/heating and plumbing company.

Don't buy one at Home Depot,

And buy a Bradford White from a supplier, it will cost you, but won't die 6 months out of warranty

You can purchase the water heater here, you’re gonna need some other stuff also, I’d say you will be into this $3K if you have it done by legit plumber and don’t get fucked.

All the new WHs are junk. Buy the less expensive junk.

Why such a big W/H?
How big is said house?

And flush it once in awhile.

Your water quality has a lot to do with it. Put an Anode Rod in & check it after 3 years. The corrosion basically gravitates to the rod versus the tank, thus saving the tank.

I agree on staying with a tank, tankless are ridiculously overrated as the savior. Tanks are simple & work.
