  They all suck, in different ways.

  APC: Aside from problems otherwise recently noted on this list, they
seem to have the best spread of extended-run options.  Since they have
the largest market-share, there seems to be more third-party software
support.

  Eaton (formerly PowerWare, formerly MGE, formerly BEST Power): Solid
product.  Often less expensive than APC.  Good selection of online
(double conversion) UPSes.  Their replacement battery P/N's are almost
impossible to discover, and once you do, they're often only available
direct from them.  Their model lineup is confusing and poorly
differentiated.

  Tripp-Lite (UPSes): Website support feels iffy.  Front panels are
minimalist.  Batteries are often hard to change.  Had some quality
problems several years back and I've avoided them since.

  CyberPower: Their cheap consumer UPSes are incredibly craptacular.
ASB says their higher-end models are much better, but I still shy
away.

  MinuteMan: Never used them, but I've had them recommended once or twice.

  OneAC: Has been recommended to me once or twice.  Looks like a very
robust, effective product (double conversion, galvanic isolation,
etc.).  Big.  Heavy.  Expensive.
