Where's the best place to buy one? What should I look out for?

I use APC UPS for years now and they are great. Like every lead-acid battery products, you will need to replace the battery 3 years or so. The UPS will give you a warning when a replacement is required.
Remember to spec out the UPS capacity properly. Whatever you are planning on plugging into the UPS, measure their power draw, and then double it. At full-load, a UPS will only give you minutes of battery power. At half-load, it will give you about 10 minutes.
For comparison, my high-end gaming PC, at full-load draws ~650w and spikes to ~800w at times.
