Suggest you put in an "on demand" hot water heater. It is very small and you won't have to deal with a bad rusting tank in 15 years.

The downside is you need the power capability in your electric box to run this unless you use natural or bottled gas. Also they are known for needing replacement around the 10 year mark.
