the advantage of the tank type hot water heater is that the tank always has hot water ready to go.
tankless, no tank of course and it will take few minutes to get hot water going, the further the bathroom it will take longer.
if you have large house with more then 2 bathrooms, i would recommend tank type.
small house with 1 bathroom, tankless is ok.
tank type will give you more hot water if you have washer/dishwasher on and someone jumps in the shower. With tankless, furthest bathroom will suffer getting hot water and maybe get warm water.
electric hot water heaters draw alot of electricity.
make sure you have hot water return with circulating pump
solar panels would be good idea to have.
how are you heating the house
