indirect water heater advise

I'm looking to change my current indirect water heater to something newer. What we have right now is a small (40-45 gallons?) GlowCore heater that feeds off of a Burnham 206NCL-TEI2 boiler. Everything in the house is water. I couldn't find much info on GlowCore heaters online, but the one we have has its outer plastic shell cracked, and it's probably up for an upgrade. There are no leaks though. My question is: What would the pros here recommend to upgrade our GlowCore to? The options available at the local Homedepot are: Amtrol and SuperStor. Any comments? In case it matters, our Burnham boiler is about 14 years old. It's a discontinued model, but it's still kicking in, and I'm content to keep it for a few more years. Thanks much.

    Stainless steel indirects have specs for water hardness and chloride content. Might be a good idea to have your water tested, especially since you're not in a rush with a leaking indirect.
