I have dealt with the electrical end of several of these, whether electric or gas fired, havent been thrilled with any other them.

I personally would never use one, i like the simplicity of a regular old, run of the mill, electric electric water heater, or gas if its available
The flow rate from ours (I'm assuming you mean coming out of the faucet) is fine, assuming decent pressure from the water source and no clogs in the filter (we have a house filter after the softener but before the heater). You can run two or three faucets and still have decent pressure. And you don't really notice an issue if you run hot water from two faucets, or run cold water in one faucet while hot is going from another.
