Choosing the right UPS or uninterpretable power supply, depends on how long you wish your computer to remain on during a power outage. The purpose of a UPS is to allow you to have enough time to save all work and shut down the computer gracefully. A larger UPS will provide a longer window in which your computer will remain on during an outage.

Since UPS are pretty much independant of the computer connected to them your decision should lie in the features you would like. If you have constant brown-outs that last more then 10 mins and you can not afford for your machine to shut down improperly you may want to go with a higer end model then iniates shutdown for you.
