That is a good chunk of money. I would think you would want to diversify. REITs are a way to get in the stock market and real estate at the same time.
If you are simply looking for income, there are a number of solid stocks that pay 4-5% dividends. They have done so in good times and bad, so while not necessarily preserving capital, they generally preserve income.
Personally, I like real estate. Lots of options for that kind of money and it becomes very easy to leverage. Of course, if things go south, you may not want to be too leveraged.
Sorry for the non-answer, but I would seriously consider diversification.
