What are you going to run off it, and what run time do you need? It matters if you are running electronics or a sump pump, and if you just want enough time to save your work or if you want to keep working for a couple hours. Also most people have battery operated laptops and tablets now which changes the UPS strategy.
Another factor is if it’s in a location where fan noise would be bothersome. I’ve had good luck with Tripp Lite SU750XL, it is dual conversion, replaceable battery, and Powerpole connector for external extended runtime battery. But the fan runs all the time and it would probably drive you crazy in a bedroom or home office. And if your electronics aren’t fussy about the quality of the input power, dual conversion is probably an expensive overkill.

Older models had replaceable batteries and will often work fine with a new battery; they don't have a calibration command so it's good to put a light load (30-50%) and let them run down to empty once or twice so that they recalibrate themselves to the new battery. Some new Back-UPS models don't have the replaceable batteries.
