The cheapest is still a genset an Onan on the top of it. It's even cheaper that running an AC system from the main engine if you got a gas engine.
An Onan will last 20-30 years if maintain decently. There is no way a brand new cheapo will stand up to that. Watch for a used one,(classified,Ebay,) that is the cheapest & best.
