I powered my complete house many, many times with a 15KW PTO generator before I switched to solar electric. Never had any issues with burning out anything. Not even when my kid revved the engine way too high and the light bulbs in our house got VERY bright. No TVs burned out, not did anything else.
Picking the most fuel efficient will be choosing the smallest tractor that can power it, assume they are all diesels. When running an entire house - much of the time the tractor will hardly be be working hard and will lug down a bit when a power surge comes up. Any tractor is most efficient when run at the peak of its torque curve. That means that much of the time that tractor is running it will only be using 5-10 horsepower. At max to make 15KW maybe 30 horse. The most efficient would be a tractor with a max of 30-35 PTO horsepower. Very easy to verify. Look at some Nebraska tests and how much fuel big tractors waste when run at low power levels.
