Oif fired hot water heater opinions

Bock is the Cadillac and is priced accordingly. For an all around cheaper unit, Bradford or State. I have not had good luck with Lochinvar. High rate of tank failure.

I am looking at a job to replace a warm air furnace, and the customer wants to replace his electric hot water heater with oil.
Now I'm an oil guy, and even I am not very fond of the direct fired oil hot water heaters. The flues are hard to clean, and because of that they tend to run hard.
I doubt I can sell him on a hot water boiler, so to those of you that use direct fired oil hot water heaters, what brands do you like and why?
