I had a tankless water heater for a while. While I liked the "idea" of it... only using electricity while water was running through it... it didn't work very well during the colder months. I think one of the elements burned out too. We went back to a traditional water tank/heater.
However, if I ever had a house built for myself I would go with tankless... but probably one for each bath room and one for the kitchen and one for the washer. This would also save money on plumbing that house because only cold water pipe needs to be run from the source to each BR/Kitchen/etc. This would also allow for no worry of how many places are trying to draw the hot water since each unit is dedicated to a single area rather than trying to have one huge unit.
