Which generator is better to choose for backup power: single-phase or three-phase?

Good afternoon. The question arose about choosing a generator, I do not know which one to choose: single-phase or three-phase. I want to use it as a backup source at the facility. Specialists say that three-phase is better, since everything on the phase is powered on the object (lighting, alarm, video surveillance, pumps, etc.). The guys who sell, say that we are fools, single-phase can be connected correctly. I want to understand what should I do next, what to acquire. Photo of the opening shield in the attachment. Sincerely, Alexander.

    Hello! And you are going to turn off the wires and switch the circuit to 1 phase with each blackout? Or are you going to install additional starters for switching the circuits (which is not difficult in principle, but still)? I would buy a three-phase generator in your place. We do not forget about power either.
