I don't have any certain one or even brand in mind. I would say if you can afford it and you live some where with frequent power outage that a backup unit power by natural gas would be good, but there was a FReeper in Virginia and a tree ripped up the gas line to his when it went over so one never knows!
Anyone have any recommendations?

Depends on what you want to run. Honda makes some good portables that are gas powered.
They sell a lot of propane powered ones here for the backup systems. They are hard wired into the house. You can put a fairly big propane tank or just a 20 pound one to power them.

Honda
And forget about that little gas tank. Fit it to use a 5-10 gallon boat tank. You won’t have to get up in the night to refill.
Katrina tested!

I have a Centurion 8kw natural gas generator. It has been excellent over the years. Naybors are dark, while we are cozy, listening to music, watching TV, and posting on Free Republic. But if the SHTF, you need to prep for solar or candles. There will be no electricity to pump the natgas or gasoline.
