Multi-Family Water Heater Question

I currently have a 23 year old water heater in an 8 unit building. The inlet and outlet areas on the water heater are corroding, and when last checked, appear to have water pooled around them. I would rather have it replaced before a full blown leak occurs. 

Looking online for a new water, I'm not sure of what to go with. It currently runs on natural gas. Should I go with a 98 gallon heater or will a 75 gallon suffice?

Wouldn't you replace it with the same size tank that it currently has? That is if the current size tank is supply an adequate amount of hot water for the units.
