I can tell you this, I'm in the power business and deal with 3600 RPM generators on a daily basis. There's no reason the generator itself should go bad. The engine is a different story.

The majority of the power produced in the US is produced from 3600 RPM, 2 pole generators. As far as I know, with a few exceptions, the only 4 pole generators are on nukes.
