If you were going to replace a generator today; 7.5-8 KW size (these will
fit the space avail with sound shield)---opinion on the best choice for
reliability, and least hassle to operate/maintain. Like-have to  remove 4
things to check and add oil or replace the wp impeller. If someone has
particular opinions on the electronic controllers vs. the simple units with
regulated RPM and about 4 shutdowns in case of failure for the basic issues,
I would appreciate comments. Thanks.
