OP said he won't want battery. Therefore only cost-effectiveness and reliability (and maybe aesthetics) matter.
But we have to help him determine if installing PV is a good or bad idea.
And address net metering vs. zero export.
Yes, those are both AC coupled. One is a high voltage string inverter, the other apparently microinverters.
But this doesn't mean much unless it gets coupled to a battery. They are both grid interactive, which is all that matters.
In a hybrid, then you can consider HV DC coupling vs. LV through the battery circuit. Some hybrids are batteries-optional. Maybe all of those couple with HV DC internally?
Some such hybrids are competitively priced, could also work for OP even if no battery. But tier-1 hybrids cost a premium, and he's looking at quotes for tier-1 GT PV inverters.
