Recommendation for reliable electric water heater

[goshenplumber]

Time to replace my 14 year old electric water heater. I am looking for brand recommendations. In my area (Morgantown, WV), the following brands are available from local suppliers:
AO Smith, Emax, Noritz, GE, Whirlpool, American Water Heater, Rheem, Bradford White

My #1 priority is reliability.

Which brand would you recommend and why?

As opposed to gas, electric WH do not have a lot to differentiate them between brands.

Basically, all electric water heaters use the same components, so the only difference is in the manufacture of the tank itself, and its longevity is subject to a lot of variables, NONE of which apply to the manufacturer. So, essentially, you can go with price as to which one you want.
