There were a couple of threads about this in the past few months. It all depends on what computer you are trying to hook up to the UPS. If you are using a 'puter that has Power Factor Correction (PFC or APFC), then a sin wave UPS like this one (that I bought) would be beneficial

PFCs will sometimes not be compatible with other UPSs depending on the power delivery wave type. Look up UPS and PFC. Some good articles and comments about this on the internets.
I like CyberPower so far. But, I've not had a power outage since getting it. I'm running a MacPro (four internal drives), external drive and Dell 24inch LCD monitor. APC tends to have loud fans, which is why I went with CyberPower.
YMMV
