I guess I'm not following you here. Wouldn't it make more sense to install a sub panel off the main panel, and put all the circuits you mention above on that panel? Then you'd just start the generator (auto-start?) Disconnect the utility feed, and connect the generator output? (auto transfer switch?)
How big of a generator are you installing? Auto start or manual? Do you plan on switching the load manually or automatically?
