I was able to get 19 seasons out of a Jandy Lite 2 heater w/o a single service call. I had to clean out the pressure stat port a few times (blocked) but that was it.
Looking for a new unit, something in the 400k BTU range. My pool is 100k liters. The Jandy had its own control system that operated the pump, a very handy feature that seems to be missing on may available unit these days. Pool is SW but not sure if that matters as I got almost 2 decades out of the Lite 2 with copper.
The one unit that has caught my eye is the RayPakAvia NiTek. also the Hayward which has a 3 yr warranty (no control system).

Thoughts??
 
I think the Lite 2 was a 250K. Getting a 400K is the right move. You need to ensure that your gas meter and piping can handle the 400K. Many need to upgrade the meter. Gas companies in the US do it for free. Get a professional (plumber/HVAC) to properly size/install the gas.
