I'm pretty sure my hot water heater just quit. Replacement suggestions?

Another question on this topic... if leaking from the plastic drain valve is common, then I'm not so worried about it. If the tank is leaking elsewhere, then there should be water in the bottom of the tank, around the pilot light, right? Light has probably been out for 12+ hrs.

I might try to relight it if just to use for the next day.
