1. Yes, absolutely, it is a critical appliance that needs to power down gracefully, least i do leave it on standby all the time, if it was on a UPS and power dies, i'm assuming a UPS can keep it on standby all day or at least a few hours as it's barely drawing any power at standby.
2. Wouldn't say it's life-threatening stuff but would be nice if I got time to save stuff and shut down safely when I actually am working on something on the PC. I have lost a few things from a couple of random outages the last year.
3. Likely not the modem and splitter box.
4. Sure, 3-5 years is easy enough.
5. $50-$150 doesn't sound too bad

How heavy are we talking about? I've looked at amazon and they don't seem that heavy.
Enough time to shut down would be great, I'd be asking about a generator if I wanted power through an outage.
No, not asking about power filters/surge protectors.
