Looking at counter top food warmers.. Any pro's or con's with going 1200W vs 1500W?

Do you really have the counter top space for food warmers? In terms of wattage I'd always go with the higher wattage equipment if you have the power for it (ie strong enough generator). The higher wattage should be able to function even when stuffed full, and I'm not certain a 1200W warmer would be able to do so. Of course you haven't linked the particular warmer's you're looking at, so it's tough to give realistic feedback.

I felt would be a good way to have warm stuff ready to go? See what im looking at below.. What would you recommend for equipment to keep food at safe holding temp and ready to serve?

That's what we use. We keep our mobile kitchen modular to change when we change menus.
Ours are 1200 watt models and they have no issue keeping temps. I wouldn't try to cook with them but they are plenty hot enough (we keep Ours at 3/10) most times.
We use those in conjunction with one of these https://www.webstaurantstore.com/av...-prep-rail-with-sneeze-guard/360CPT48GLS.html
Pending what we are serving. Not using the cold line? We just unplug and store it.

Keep in mind we are using a 7000 watt RMS generator.

Gotcha... when I think "hot holding" my brain immediately jumps to something like a holding / proofing cabinet. I thought you were considering something like this : https://www.webstaurantstore.com/me...ding-cabinet-clear-door-120v/461C515HFC4.html
You said countertop so for whatever reason that's where my mind went.
Those should work just fine as essentially chafing dishes without Sterno's. I also agree with the other poster in that 1200Watts should be just fine.

Root Mean Square or continous wattage, constant power. And truthfully it is probably more like 6800 watts.

Never heard that term for a generator.
