For occasional and short term usage, LP is fine for a generator. The convenience and reliability make it worthwhile. If you need generator power for long term use (like air conditioning) you’d be better off sticking with gasoline. You didn’t say what your needs are, but those are the two ends of the spectrum.
I’ve got both ends covered with my built-in LP powered Generac, and my portable gasoline powered Yamaha 1000. The Generac occasionally gets used, typically for just 10-30 minutes. At 20 years old it only has about 125 hours on it. The Yamaha doesn’t have an hour meter on it, but I’d bet it has hundreds, maybe even 1000’s of hours on it.
I always appreciate being able to start the Generac from inside by just pushing a button though.
