Integrated Multi Function Heat Pump
Consider an integrated multi function heat pump system for heating, cooling and hot water if you have limited space for heat pump equipment. They use a single air-to-water heat pump for their multiple functions.
Not all heat pumps are designed for such multi functionality. Therefore, choose a heat pump system that is specifically designed for this.

One Task at a Time
Keep in mind that a heat pump can only perform one task at a time.
Therefore, if you want your heat pump to heat and cool your home, heat your hot water, and heat your plunge pool or spa as well, it may be better to have an additional heat pump system.

Space Saving is Key
Factor in rebates offered for stand alone hot water heat pumps. These are not offered for integrated systems. Check the difference of the net installed price.
You may find negligible difference between one integrated system and two systems covering multiple functions.
Therefore, space saving rather than price will likely be the key decision factor.
