I like the tripplite APS 700hf/750/1250 gear. We've got sites with 2 big batteries that should be good for 24 hours with these.
I put one at my house after going through 2 APC UPSs in 8 years. We put them everywhere we need long run time, and add batteries for places where it's impractical to take a generator. I don't mind freely recommending them. My competition has already seen how well they work at a mountaintop site where we are both located and has since followed that route in the interest of long runtime.
