Honda, as you mentioned, make good generators and they sip gas. Generac is also a great line and one of my coworkers has a Champion (they actually have a warehouse near me and he got it discounted there).
I have a 15kW Generac generator I plug into my panel and back-feed the entire house. I also feel obligated to have the neighbor run an extension cord to his place as the thing runs pretty loud and it's outside his bedroom window. I do not have any line conditioners but I do have a ground rod 4' into the earth I clamp it to.
I kinda wish it was a natural gas automatic generator but the price tag was just too high.
