All other things being equal, if you had to pick between either the MPP LV2424 or the Growatt 3000TL, which would you choose?
I've basically narrowed my search down to these two all-in-one inverters and am leaning towards the MPP. It seems to have a solid user base, decently documented features (if not by MPP, by the community members), and can be monitored easily (https://diysolarforum.com/threads/monitoring-mpp-clone-systems-with-freeware-pi-grafana.15712/).
The price is about the same for both. The Growatt provides a bit more power on paper (how truthful are these numbers) and Will seems to be a fan. Both are typical China quality which I'm ok with. Current supply seems to indicate that the Growatt could be a while before it is shipped (early May on watts247.com) and the MPP is in stock.
Really a tough decision I think.

Other aspects of my system:
- 8x 272Ah LiFePO4 cells from the Lishen group buy taking the extremely slow boat from China (so the shipping time for the inverter may be moot) in a 24V setup
- TBD 8S BMS - probably overkill
- 2x300W solar panels that I got from Craigslist very cheap. I'll replace these eventually
- Mostly used as a battery backup for computer systems, refridgerators, basic lights, and maybe 1-2 hours of space heating/window AC use (600W for heater, 650W for AC)
- Probably add an inverter generator at some point too
