Make sure that what ever you end up with you have an interlock to disable 
the main circuit breaker before you can turn on the generator breaker. My 
generator has an automatic switch for the generator, and I have another plug 
to use a portable generator.  It has a breaker on the panel from the 
generator that feeds the panel. It has a mechanical interlock so that I have 
to disconnect the main CB before the generator breaker can be turned on. I 
have a Square D panel, and they make the mechanical interlock as an 
accessory. The generator CB is in the upper right position.
