Most places I hang around have only 5 to 10 minutes batter. We, NAC, usually plan on 10 minutes at full load, sometimes a little more. If your genset doesn't start and sync in 30 seconds, it's unlikely, that even with really good planning, that you'd get a rollup there, hooked up, etc., in time. Murphy wouldn't hear of it.

Our current plan is to purchase the UPS with a minimal amount of battery, approximately 15min worth; just enough to get the generator running. Is this the better way to go? Or should we consider more battery?
just how certain are you that your generator is always going to start within 15 minutes?
