Somewhat larger (about 1.2 x) than the sum of the loads to be powered by the generator. Same voltage and frequency as the loads require. Consider the worst case: starting the largest load when everything else is already running. That's a bit of a simplified answer to a hugely simplified question.

I should have put a bit simpler answer - it depends on how much $ you have and ready to put up in smoke
