Works on propane but not
Check at back of water heater where hydro wires go in to heater, there is usually a black switch on top or side of that box/cover that needs to be in proper position as well. I usually use a mirror so I can see for sure it's in the on position.

Electronic burner lights then goes out in a few seconds
I am not sure about your particular heater but the thermocouple on a full-size gas water heater is often the cause of a pilot failing. It is relatively inexpensive to change (or mine was). It is a simple metal tube with a wire that is located near the pilot to tell the burner that it is ok to come on because the pilot is lit.

My Atwood GC10A-3E will come on the first time I
Sounds like some adjustments are needed. Air shutter for one, and ignitor/electrode. Have you by chance observed outside with cover open when it tries to re-light? My guess is that it is sparking/trying to ignite, but adjustments are needed for proper ignition. A good cleaning of burner tube, electrode, and proper adjustment of electrode & air mixture should cure your problem.

What Atwood water heater models will replace model GCH6A-9E?
Any 6 gal will fit in same cut-out (hole) . 12-5/8" H x 16-1/4" W x 17-5/8 deep. In order to move up to a 10 gal, you need to be able to cut hole a little bigger. 15-3/4" H x 16-1/4" W x 20-5/8" deep. Usually your depth will allow , and width is same, just a matter of whether you have room to make height bigger.
