Propane versus gasoline generator
Do propane generators suffer from the same problems as gasoline ones, namely the dried up laquer problem in the carb and jets? Isn't it a no brainer to have a propane generator since then you share...

Gumming up the carb doesn't happen with propane.
I have a propane gen. and I like it. But, I don't use it that much. Mine starts every time I need it. The exhaust is fairly odorless and clean. I use far more propane for my furnace or water heater than anything else. I haven't had much trouble finding propane filling stations either. In fact a lot of the campgrounds I've stayed at have them.
If I were going to run the generator a lot, like all day for the AC or something, then gasoline would be easier to deal with as far as getting and transporting the fuel. For my occasional use for a few hours now and then it works out great.
