Our OEM magnesium anodes look about like OB's picture after two seasons. When we first got the RV the anode rod looked like a coat hanger with a little goop on it and the WH itself needed a good flushing. I used one of those wands like pictured above.
Now, as I said above, two seasons and the rod looks like the photo, so I see no need to go to the aluminum ones.
The Suburban-branded one is a couple dollars more than the generic and results have been so good that I don't want to change products. Never an odor.
RV before this one had Atwood with the aluminum tank and again, no odor. All I ever did was flush it, and rarely at that.
