The choice between inverter types is really dependent on the installation constraints and requirements. When I installed my array 2 1/2 years ago I went with a string inverter even though I do get shadowing and the microinverters would have given me much better performance. I just added extra panels to compensate. I am over half way to break even on my ROI and I generate as much power as I consume annually. If I had used microinverters it would have taken twice as long to break even. If money is no object then you definitely will get higher performance with microinverters and some level of redundancy.
