We have a Mitsubishi multi-split system that we really like. Very efficient, and super quiet in operation. No issues with running in generator backup because like all scrolling inverter systems it starts slowly and doesn't need soft start capacitors etc... I think there are offers available now due to the recent infrastructure bill passage, and I don't know about others, but the Mitsubishi systems have an excellent track record for reliability.
The rest of the world has been using them for a long time and the bugs have really been worked out.
Any motor >200w should really be inverter driven. Always think it's funny how my lights flicker more when my fridge cycles than when my HVAC cycles. I installed a 2 ton LG ~10 years ago and I've had no issues. It's been great.
