Now I'm considering getting a UPS and a Surge Suppressor for other devices, and I know APC has a reputation for good stuff (at least, smart ups' and the like) but I've also been eyeing OPTI-UPS.

Are there any good brands other than APC I should be looking at? Out of these two UPS' which would be my best bet

OPTI-UPS Enhanced Series ES1000C UPS (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16842107113)
APC BR1200 UPS (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16842101006)

As for the surge supressor I was considering this one (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817106223)

I'll be running two computers (One has a Antec True 430 430W the other a 280W PSU built into an EpoX mini-pc case), and two 19" ws monitors (90W total)

If I can afford it I might be able to pull off getting a Smart-UPS But I'm not entirely sure on that.

Thoughts?

You typically get more for your money w/ Opti.
