Why not use something like an HP5254B/C ? They give out 50MHz harmonics up to the low Ghz region, all filtered by a nice high-Q tuneable cavity. All to typical HP build quality.
Of course, they have an amount of 'not needed' circuitry and are just a bit ..... , well, bulky. Good clean output from 10MHz in though.

Have you considered synthesizers? I am using an Analog Devices AD9517
to drive a A/D
converter at 250 MHz. It has many clock outputs that are independently
configurable.
It is intended for low jitter applications.
