Hot water systems

Out current hot water tank is being annoying (sometimes the water is only warm, and if someone takes a long shower it runs out) and it's nearing EOL so we're looking at different options for a replacement. We're planning to be in this house another 20+ years if life goes well so long term life expectancy vs cost is a factor.

Our current system is gas, from my understanding the options are a regular tank system, a condensing tank system and a condensing tankless system. I'm leaning towards a condensing tankless system for the long lifespan, gas savings and not having a big tank waiting to flood the basement when it fails. My wifes main concern is if they're capable of handling something like two people showering at the same time. When I was a kid I showered last and always ended up cold, now that I own the place I don't want to be doing the same once I have teenagers.

Thoughts? Experiences? Do tankless really last as long as expected? Can they keep up with a busy family of 4?
