If it were only this simple ... obviously you've never had the "pleasure" of foraging through these 41 pages of discussion on the subject of bonding where it seems even those extremely well versed in the subject couldn't even agree. :S

My bet is once you're done you still won't come to a definitive conclusion as to whether it's preferable to bond a floating neutral source or not. I got into this recently in this discussion about bonding the output of a sine wave inverter I was wiring to feed my trailer "whole house" and which has the same floating neutral output as my Honda EU2000i inverter genset. Up to this point I had been running the genset with a bonded output, seemingly with no negative consequences, but since the manufacturer of this sine wave inverter warned specifically against bonding I decided to leave it floating and to also remove the bond on the genset. Interestingly, Progressive Industries which manufactures a line of RV electrical protection systems, also warns specifically against the practice of bonding any source, as stated in their EMS-HW30C Installation Manual.
To bond or not to bond - even the "experts" can't agree. :S
