What brand of generator would be good? I know the Honda's are awesome, but they are a little more than I want to spend.

Stay away from the loud 2 stroke cheapos. Everybody will hate you. Inverter generators are safe for electronics. Generac ix series is great for the price. 800W is plenty for a tailgate. Put is ab 20' away and never hear it.

If you want something cheap that works harbor freight has a 800 watt portable generator for about $90. i bought one last year to run my radio and string of lights when we go camping. its pretty quiet.

No clue, I'm sure others will chime in. I just know a battery is not a good alternative. If you cheap out on the battery, you will be replacing it/them once a year. Big deep cycle batteries are also heavy and cumbersome to move around. Then you would also need an inverter as mentioned. You'd probably need a minimum two batteries too...and if you get top of the line gel cells or agms that would set you back around $200/battery. Would be a safer bet going with the generator.
