Online UPS's aren't cheap so there is a cost aspect to look at that some
people need to worry about. So the reason for having a UPS if you care
about cost over a surge protector is power outages can be damaging (from
extra powercycling), as can brownouts. Plus if you have recording equipment
(i.e. dvr or vcr) it helps to keep from losing the show you are recording.

Just another point to add - if the UPS you are considering is for your HT,
what is the point of getting one that will make everything look and sound
FUBAR when the battery is engaged?
