Go tankless. I love mine.
In the summer, when it is 100°F outside, the water starts at 100°F, saving electricity. You also save a lot of electricity by not keeping a tank of unused water hot.
It does take longer for the hot water to get to the tub. Rather than the 10 seconds for a tank, it is closer to 40 seconds. Yes, some people do whine and moan about that. For the money savings, it is worth it.

Edit: just checked, my electric bill in June was $55.
