I'm in the desert so can't say anything to colder climates. Typically they break down due to scale buildup which can be remedied with a descaler, ie something like this at the input line. Like with anything follow the reviews. There should be a unit that works for your climate and the number of people in your house. If you only run one shower at a time then a big tank seems overkill, to me anyway, and some of these units can provide enough for two showers and two sinks at the same time.
However, living in MN definitely drops a wrench in the idea. You may just be better off sticking with a tank.
This is only $200, can be installed by anyone, and will stop calcium and lime from depositing on your pipes or appliances. It won't help with rust but that doesn't look to be a problem for OP.
