I have the honda eu3000is. It is 12 years old and still runs perfectly. I believe it is still the quietest by a considerable margin. Mine does not have a remote start and it would be a nice feature to have. I have heard good things about the champions and their inverters are quiet also but still not as quiet as the Honda. But the honda costs almost twice as much. All that being said quiet is a major factor. I have no regrets. The honda also has a 3 gallon gas tank for a very long run time. So if you want to save a considerable amount of money go champion. If you want to pay a considerable amount more for super quiet and big fuel tank go Honda JMHO.
