Portable Generator Advice wanted

Not near there, im out west. Only once has the power been out for more then 24 hours, and that was a SERIOUS storm 7 years ago. (some said it was a level 1 tornado)

Usually we get 1 or 2 times a season where we'll lose power for 6-12 hours maybe due to a down power line or something. The is mainly to power my sump pumps in case the battery backup runs out or doesnt work or something. Doesnt take long to get a basement full of water....
