Generators putting out raw wattage can seriously damage the electronic items. I know from past experience so I was sold on the inverter technology. We also wanted to have the ability for it to run on propane, natural gas as well as gasoline since gasoline has storage problems with the ethanol component.
We used a 10 circuit Reliance Protrane transfer case. So although it's not a whole house generator we've got all the important circuits covered.
Previously we explored the whole house generators but really the unsightly large propane tank would have destroyed our beautiful view so we decided against it. Just another option to consider.

The propane tanks can be buried to alleviate the view problem. An added benefit of putting them 4 feet underground is more propane can be stored in them (90% filled versus 80%) since there is less temperature variation.
