I think it depends on how many people are traveling. If just one or two (sitting in front seats) the dash air may be enough. But, if anyone wants to sit in back, I would go with the generator / AC.
John Clark (Newell) talked about this at our mini rally and his opinion was that dash air caused about the same drop in mileage as running the generator, so it was a wash from a fuel standpoint. He also said that he almost never sees a generator die too much use. Normally they fail from too little use / bad maintenance.
It ends up being personal preference, but I am also in agreement that I just run the generator and pump the AC!
