It looks like only two water heater brands are made without anode rods: Rheem's Marathon, which is plastic, and HTP's Everlast, which is stainless steel. Someone mentioned the heating elements for the Marathons being a little expensive, but I just saw they're something like $50. If I could get 15+ years out of whatever tank I buy, I'd be jazzed!

I'm waiting on a price for the HTP, which looks like they only work through certified installers, but may end up going Rheem and just having a reliable plumber do all the fixin'.

Thanks for your thoughts, fellas!
