I chose gas for simplicity, cost and portability. Honda engined from Costco for ~1k, 6800/8500w. I need to run the well pump, a few lights, fridge and it would be nice to have the mini split and water heater. I can run the microwave or cook on the grill outside if it comes to it. My little gen works fine so far.

Add up the amps of your appliances and that'll tell you the max size. 10k sounds like plenty, just check the power #'s for the range.
