Subject: UPS for Mac II file server- what do I need?

I need to put a Mac II file server on a UPS. There seem to be three major
classes of UPSs: <4ms, <1ms, and instantaneous. The question is, is there
any advantage to the <1ms or instantaneous models? The power supply in the
Mac II has so far proven itself to be amazingly stable. Power fluctuations
which blow out air conditioners and dim all the lights don't bother it in
the slightest (whereas various PC-AT clones tend to go up in smoke). On the
other hand, I don't want to push the power supply too far, no matter how good
it is.

So: given the Mac II's rock-solid power supply, what should I get?
And while I'm at it, how many watts for a Mac II w/8MB ram, 300 MB internal
CDC drive, monochrome monitor, and ethernet card? What if I use a 21-inch
greyscale monitor as well?

Thanks in advance
