Honestly it really depends on the product and what you want. From my experience a lot of UPS , as long as you go for good and not cheap, have surge protection sockets included in the overall unit, but still don't have as many as a regular surge protector could provide. Also good UPS systems are costly, usually over $150 (not including the battery that needs to be replaced every couple of years), while a good surge protector can be far less than that( < $50).
On the other hand surge protectors won't provide you with a source of power when it does go out, however they will be cheaper and provide more ports to plug in whatever.
While watching a movie or something while the power is out does seem appealing you can easily do that on a laptop or something, and from the sounds of it you just want something to protect your electronics. Sounds more like you would need a surge protector compared to a UPS system since the later is more for important work you need to save or do when the power goes out. Personally I have a surge protector on my home theater system while a UPS on my desktop and accessories which works just fine.
To my understanding AX is just an upgrade to AC. Most likely some performance increases but yeah. Also, Id expect it should have WPA 3 as well, at least from what I read. Is it worth the wait? Honestly I think AC does a good enough job for now, plus consider the cost of an AX router, they aint going to be cheap when they are released. I perfer to wait until the standard matures before investing in to it. Because how long until phones and other devices have AX chips? Who knows.
