The UPS should be able to provide the power for what it has plugged in (otherwise it just defeats the purpose). The higher the VA, keeping your power usage constant, the longer it will run. PSU always provide charts explaining runtime in case of outage for a given amount of consumption. Compare that to choose accordingly.
Remember you will need to change batteries every 4 years

If your sole purpose is protection against shocks there are 2 possible solutions, other than a UPS:

1. Having a breaker on your power cord
2. Using a power cord with a fuse

They are both cheaper options than a UPS (which is used to prevent data loss or protect a server for a small time, say, before the additional power supply enters into function or to give the user time to save what he/she is working on)
A fuse is cheaper but will need replacing every time that you give a shock to power that causes it to fail.
It will essentially die itself instead of what it is protecting.
