How long, and how often?  I ask because you need to think of the 
cost/benefit ratio.  In my neighborhood, we suffer approximately two 
"long duration" (over an hour) a year - during the summer we can have 
brownouts weekly, but they generally last a few minutes at most.  The 
only time we've ever been out of power for more than several hours was 
the ice storm of 2006(?) where we were out for 48 hours or so.  I can 
live with my stuff being down for a couple of hours and don't see any 
particular reason to spend multiple thousands of dollars on a system.
