Unless you have more than 4 people living there or more than 2 full bathrooms at your townhouse, there's really no point get anything larger than a 40 gallon hot water heater. Realistically you'll only be using 10-12 gallon of hot water for a 10 minute shower, and it will take less than 10 minutes for your hot water heater to recover that.

As for brands, I find that they're all pretty similar. Personally, I went down to the closest Home Depot and bought the cheapest 40 gallon/6year warranty hot water heater for less than $500 and called it a day.
