The second one looks good. it has a good warranty. But only 28 minutes back up?? is that enough time? the the surge protectionis good.

don't go for that last one, you will be paying for things you don't need.

The 2nd one (only of the first list I looked at) isn't a UPS (uninterupted power supply) but an SPS (Switched power supply, both of these are usually sold as the exact same thing). The only difference is a UPS will always run off the battery, constantly recharging it and an SPS will run off the power supply until the power cuts off and switch. This is a big deal with servers since even a few milliseconds between the switch can really mess things up. If your filter shuts off for a few seconds even (wouldn't be a 1/10 of that in reality) it wouldn't matter. This is good because you can buy an SPS with a longer battery life for cheaper then a UPS with a shorter battery life.

Unless you drop some fat cash (or do some mad DIY to alter it to run with a deep cycle marine battery), you're only going to get like 20-60 min max.
