How many people in the house? Showers or baths?

I do not have one in my house, but i have spoken to others that do have them. For normal use - ie dishwasher, washing machine, showers for a regular family, they are fine. If you're filling a soaker tub twice a day, or like extensive steam showers, then a very high capacity tank may be better.
Tankless will run cold eventually, once the heating element cannot keep up, but it won't take as long as a tank to regain heating capacity once cold.
