As far as I can tell the UPS that you choose should be able to deliver your MAX power draw from the wall as a MINIMUM so in your case around 2000VA+ (approx 1000W). At full load it will only last a couple of minutes so you'd want to power down quick.

 

So having a little more power delivery shouldn't hurt it. Also should look at reviews on different brands so that you know that it wont blow up when receiving a surge (happened to a friend). I've known people to have Eaton UPS's and not have a problem.

 

I believe that UPS's can also condition the power from the wall making your system less prone to energy spikes? (think i saw that in latest scrapyard wars).

i've had good experiences with APC, as for which one you should get, well.. i usually suggest look at the max power draw of your devices, and take a step up over that.

(meaning if you draw 1050 from the wall, i'd suggest at least 1200 watt)

 

i should note that you're getting in the range where theres no regular home UPSes providing the desired wattage, and you may be looking upward of $1000 for a decent unit.

decent unit being one that doesnt blow up on you (someone on the forum had that happen with cyberpower), and provides at least a decent sinus wave.

Either APC or CyberPower depending on budget. Eaton you can't replace the battery on most of their non rack models whereas APC and Cyberpower allow you to.

I like APC but you need to get one of their higher end models. The lower end ones don't really do anything because they're not big enough. 

 

I'd suggest this one if you have that high of a budget.
