We have instantaneous gas hot water. I like it because you never run out and you only pay to heat what you use. Handy when away for a few days, you have hot water as soon as you get home. If you go with gas, just make sure you have a system that has the capacity to suit your needs now and in the future.
In the short term we won't be changing over to a natural gas barby having just recently purchased a new LPG weber.
It doesn't apply to all gas hot water systems but the place we rented while we built had gas hot water- whenever there was a blackout there was no hot water. We didn't have to pay but there is also the consideration of rent for the gas bottles in some areas
Yes, outside ppoints are very useful for tradies when they come to fix something outside and need power.

It's interesting reading the gas or induction comments, like the old Ford Vs Holden days
We have both in different houses.
I'll take induction any day, I hate cooking at our gas house.
Maybe there is something about cooking on gas that I need to learn.
Keep some spare tiles and timber is my suggestion.
When buying things like tiles and paint, buy a bit extra at the beginning and ensure it is all from the same batch number. It is easier to have an extra box or two of tiles so that if there is some unexpected breakage the trades person can continue instead of waiting until you source additional stock.
Make sure you keep them at the end of each stage. You've paid for them.
