Which method is better for heating water?

Our chemical industrial park does not have public steam or natural gas pipelines; our production processes require hot water at 90–95 degrees Celsius. There are 5 reaction vessels with a capacity of 5 m3 each, equipped with internal coil heating. At present, we want to use two methods to produce hot water: 1. Use an electrically heated hot water boiler to generate hot water directly, with a water distributor and a water collector, and multiple pumps to deliver the water to the internal coils of each reaction vessel. 2. Use an electrically heated steam boiler to generate steam, which is then fed into the hot water tank to maintain the temperature of the hot water at 90–95 degrees. Multiple pumps are used to deliver this water to the internal coils of each reaction vessel. Personally, I think the first approach will result in delayed hot water production, as the 5 reaction vessels cannot be used simultaneously ； The second method may result in higher heat loss. I would like to ask the experts: which of these two methods is better? What are their respective advantages and disadvantages? Thank you!
Why not use a heat transfer oil furnace for heating when playing?
It depends on the power of your electric heater; a higher power level is sufficient, while a lower power level would require the second option
Heat transfer oil? What to use for heating? Is it also electrically heated? Our temperature requirement is in the 90s degrees, and I don’t think it’s necessary to use heat transfer oil
Power is unlimited. Whether it is a hot water boiler or a steam boiler, they are both supplied as complete sets by the manufacturer
As for chemical industrial parks... it’s possible to check whether other companies have excess waste heat that can be utilized more quickly. Using electricity for heating is a very energy-wasting practice
