I'm moving soon and the new house doesn't have a water softener so I want to put one in. I think I've narrowed it down to these two. Any thoughts or experiences with them?

Some of the Pelican reviews say it doesn't work as well as a regular salt softener, and some are glowing, so not sure what to think. A happy medium might be the Genesis ones in the first link that still use salt and regenerate, but do it more efficiently.
Also looking to replace the water heater since it is 23 years old and I would want a bigger one (50 gal.) anyway. It seems there are three main manufacturers: Bradford White, Rheem (also makes Richmond), and AO Smith (also makes Whirlpool and Kenmore). And it looks like Bradford White are the best, then Rheem, then AO Smith. Any thoughts here?
