There is one major difference to consider - some make genuine grid-type power, and most don't.
For the most part, you'd never notice the difference. But, with some things it does matter a lot - especially battery chargers.
Most cheaper portable generators don't match the normal 170 volts peaks and valleys of grid-current called 120 VAC and tend to run 150-160 volts instead. Since most battery chargers only work in the upper 160-170 volt range, many generators won't work.
Once exception for small generators are those that are DC instead of AC. Yamaha and Honda make some nice ones. The Honda inverter series uses a DC generator run through a full-wave inverter. So, RPM doesn't matter in regard to the Hertz cycle. This means they can run slow and load-match, and also - make perfect power.
