Default Recommendation for UPS Surge Protector

I find myself in need of a new Surge Protector with UPS. I don't want to merely buy a new battery for my old one. I want an upgrade.
Do any of you have a preferred UPS to recommend? I have 9 total plugs, 3 of which are transformers. I guess I only really need the tower and monitor on the battery, but it would be nice to have the phone on there as well. In fact, if it were possible I'd even like to have the printer, modem and wireless router on there too. Do they make UPS protectors with all ports on UPS? If not, then the more the better.

I'd leave the printer out of the UPS side of things. They tend to drain hefty amounts of juice, and what are the odds that you're going to want to print something out when the power's down?

That said, I've got a whole-house surge supressor installed, and I recommend that.
