Count me among the fans of the Honda Super Quiet generators.  As much
as I like them, though, I would not trade any of the limited interior
storage for an on-board generator.  They work very well as portable
units.

Most people would do very well with an decent multiple battery setup
and an inverter.  Depending on your (unstated) requirements, you may
be able to run from batteries for several days before running the
engine to recharge.  With two batteries, I rarely start the engine
between runs to the store, etc, but my biggest power hog is a laptop
computer.
