In my opinion it depends on your desire to tinker and whether you are installing yourself.
Either will work. The easiest (and most expensive) would be the inverter/charger. It will be easier to run and manage if the charging profile matches your batteries. It will have an integrated transfer switch and once installed, it should be seamless.
You can build your own with separate inverter and charger and maybe transfer switch depending on what you want for less money (likely) but more effort in choosing all of the parts and having them installed.
If you are looking for a whole-house inverter (and money isn't a big part of the picture) the inverter/charger would be my choice. If you just need the inverter for specific items and your are on a budget a separate charger and inverter would be my choice.
