Great thoughts, I really appreciate it! Potentially increasing water cost in California is the reason this is coming up, but more broadly it's really about doing the right thing... I just can't determine whether the right thing is to waste water or electricity! :)
This is a retrofit, so there isn't an option to build for natural circulation. All the pumps in question are in the $150-$300 range, so not terribly expensive. All have timers so they only run during waking hours. The pumps use somewhere in the neighborhood of 20-40w, so not a huge amount of electricity. I *suspect* that the real cost of, say, 360w per day (a reasonable average) vs. thousands of gallons of year waiting for hot water says the pump is the better option. I just wondered if anyone knew any different. :)
