Best water heater type?

We need a new water heater. I thought heat pump heaters with tanks were the best these days, but I'm seeing a lot of recommendations for tankless too. Which is best these days? I'd prefer a 100% electric option if possible but our current water heaters are gas so we have a line running to that spot if gas is clearly better.

We have lots of room in our basement space (ceiling is fairly tall, too) and it's heated, so I think it's fine for either type of heater (e.g., never gets too cold for a heat pump). We almost never run out of hot water currently so I think we'll be fine if we get the same capacity that we already have, so "tankless never runs out" isn't much of a selling point for us.
