As I've never dealt with a tank failure (knock on wood since the one down there now is 11 years old) is it a slow leak or do they start just dumping water everywhere? That'll be a factor for me too since the furnace is right beside it and all the home theatre stuff is right through the wall beside it.

It usually just starts to leak without notice. Does your hot water tank have a catch basin? If not, then you should consider one if you plan to replace it.
Also consider getting a smart water sensor for an added piece of mind cause chances are you're not going to check on your hot water tank daily.
