Anuone have experience with either type of installation? Thanks

Same advice as VT suggested. Make a call to the building inspector in the
county in which you reside. They are very helpful in situations like this.
I'm assuming you're talking about a gas tankless water heater.
You can also refer to the installation manual (which you can look up for your model). I've seen these installed both by hardwire, and a receptacle located not more than 6' away from the unit, and not directly underneath. Good luck.
