Your key criteria are at best, mutually exclusive.
Least weight, smallest size & low cost will favor a high RPM unit.
Reliability & low sound level will favor a low RPM unit.
Very doubtful you will find an eng-gen that will handle an A/C unit while
underway that will be worth the energy trade off.

Did you consider the use of a small lightweight DC genset?
Depending on what cooling method is used there are several options in engines
that will produce the desired results.
Inverter models are now available that can deliver any reasonable amounts of
power including driving air conditions as long as a supply of DC power is
available from either battery or DC genset.
We provided a 30 lb portable genset to a US military lab which delivers 2
Kw.
While not exactly a marinized model it does proof the concept.
Cheers
