Two other options would be:
1) reverse cycle water heater - takes heat out of the air or ground to supplement the electric elements. Cheaper to operate and not much more expensive to buy than a standard water heater;
2) rather than have one large water heater in the garage, install several smaller ones where they are needed. Piping is much shorter so you get your hot water more quickly and waste less hot water left in the pipes, plus if one heater serves only your guest bathroom you can leave it switched off when you don't have guests.
