You did A already and it failed. I would go with B. That part can handle a lot more energy.
Regarding the breakers tripping, it's still not clear what actually happened. Converter was on and you added extra loads to gen? How much time delay when resetting breaker? Was the converter tapering at that time, or outputting 100A? Was the converter functional after resetting breaker? Then weeks later the converter did not turn on?
BTW, I'm in the process of running some tests on my spare Parallax converter.
