I'm shopping for a UPS in the $200 USD range that can handle at least 750W of power draw (my PC pulls a peak of just under 600W without the monitor factored in), and I'm hoping to get some insight into what brands of UPS I should avoid at all costs.
Something saying a brands I can trust to be quality would be helpful as well.

Eaton is the one i'd look for, they're some of the best UPS's, though they tend to be a bit above your budget
Cyberpower would likely be the brand to look for within your budget
APC as well
tripp lite is also a subsidiary of Eaton, so carries with it comparable quality

I will always suggest the CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD for 120v home users.

https://www.amazon.com/CyberPower-CP1500PFCLCD-Sinewave-Outlets-Mini-Tower/dp/B00429N19W/
So basically one of these 2 would be the best bet for me to get? There's only a $5 difference in cost, though my first instinct between the 2 is the Tripp Lite one, since a replacement battery for that one would cost $30, while a replacement for the CyberPower one would be closer to $50... But it looks like the CyberPower one is an Online UPS, while the Tripp Lite one is Line Interactive, so the CyberPower one is better with that...
Both are slightly above what I wanted to spend, but still within my budget (I could go up to $300 if I needed to).
