As far as insulating your pipes, as long as it's warm out now, I'd be working on it for sure, otherwise you might just end up down there in the freezing temps replacing them.
You might also consider moving the whole setup, if you have the time/skills/money into a warmer part of the house?

Space is what's at the biggest premium. However, the water heater is in a section of the basement that has been separated from the rest with walls, so I've been considering just insulating that part of the basement. Also, the floor above is the bottom floor of the house, and that floor gets mighty cold in the winter. I'm considering installing insulation between the joists in the basement and sheetrocking that in.
