Speaking of UPS'es...

I've been interested in picking up a UPS for my home for a while now.
Seems like more and more often I've been having power fluctuations,
and I'm just waiting to come home to a corrupted box. Does anybody
have any recommendation for this? I've heard a lot about APC, and I
know they released their PowerChute software for Linux, but I'm
wondering if anybody has any recommendations over APC.

Additionally, I'd like to set it up so that when the power comes back
on after an outage long enough that my box has to shut down, my
machine will boot itself again - I run a webserver on there, so the
more it's up, the better. This isn't the same as the BIOS "boot on
power restore" function, I don't think - but I could be wrong. Any
tips on that?
