I had a Rheem that lasted me 14 years without any issues. I replaced it with American Standard, which is what the plumber happened to use. I'm not sure if you can get American Standard retail. If your planning on having a plumber install the heater, it may be worth it to see what it would cost to have the plumber supply their own heater.
Apparently there are only a handful of companies that make water heaters, and many of the different brands you see in the stores are all the same brand.
Sears has their Kenmore brand. I don't know what company makes them, but Sears always seems to choose good manufacturers for their Kenmore brand name.
