Default Pool heater....gas or heat pump?

We have a 6 year old Haywood gas pool heater that has 3 of the 4 burners rusted out to the point the unit will not ignite.
Our choices are:
... replace the rusted burners (estimated to be about half the cost of a new heater)
... replace the entire heater (estimated to be around $2700)
... check out practicality of heat pump
... do nothing and go to seasonal use of pool (we do have a solar heating system, but it cannot keep the pool above 80 when the temps start to drop into the 50's during our FL winter).

Any advice/experience/comments appreciated.
