How about one of these?

Don't know what to look for in a good one - continuous duty cycle, size, etc...

First you have to figure what you want to be able to run from the generator. Then you can size it accordingly. Look for the continuous duty rating as some of the cheaper generators will try to fool you by listing their surge rating. PM me if you want with some details and I can tell you what you will want to look for.
