I wanted to suggest some rating for functionality. I got the UPS available that seemed to have the best possible rating from NUT's list (Eaton Powerware UPS 1500), and found out it doesn't support telling me battery level or runtime! :/
I'm avoiding Eaton/Powerware because the lack of usbhid support, the bcmxcp driver doesn't report much, but I have heard that someone is working on it. Also a PW5110 500 (to replace a APC RS 500) runs much warmer than I would like. I'm used to the APC RS line-interactive units and they don't get nearly as hot.
Otherwise, the Eaton/MGE UPS's have been great, a 5PX and an Evolution. The 5PX is kind of a cross, it has usbhid support and Powerware's better battery management feature.
I tested the mge-shut (serial) driver on the 5PX, the functionality and reported values appear identical.
