Would be interesting if somebody shows a RAD table to compare the radiation between Pu-288 and Sr-90 or Cb-60, i think cobalt or strontium have better values than Pu (used on cassini), but then..im not nuclear engineer
The cassini generator use some kind of direct transformation from heat to electricity, not sure how could perform with a conventional mechanical cycle (stirling, since it seems the temperature is not high enough to use water/steam)
