UPS vs LPS


Will a "standby" UPS with AVR (auto. voltage regulator) and EMI/RFI line filtering serves similar purposes to an audio system as the LPS (linear power supply).  What are the pros and cons using UPS vs LPS?  One of the particular reasons I prefer UPS is to prevent the sudden interruption of power due to frequent storm we have in Florida to possibly damage the system while playing.  Could you recommend affordable UPS that you had experience with?  Thank you.

UPS only runs on the inverted AC during the power loss condition.  Otherwise, it runs on the normal AC power.  I will not continue with playing once the power is interrupted by storm.  It just provides a window of time to turn the system off.  I guess my question (sorry I may not make myself clear) is that, with AVR and noise filtering, could UPS provide clean enough power to the audio system?  Does the low-ripple voltage (thru AVR) not yield low-ripple current and cleaner power?
