So I'm choosing either a Powerwalker VI 3000 RLE (1800w) or an Eaton 5SC 2200i (1980w) , both are line interactive.
PW has 0.6 pf and Eaton has 0.9 so they last around the same time with the same load despite the 800va difference.
Also the Eaton is 140% more expensive than the Powerwalker, so if I go with Eaton I won't be going for 10gbe for a while still.
Asked Bluewalker (they make powerwalker) how to check for NUT compatibility on their products and they said this:
A usb port is not the only thing needed to make this work I think.
I've read about people having trouble with the powerwalkers here before, but it seems either nobody uses them or extremely few people have issues.
I will post here if I hear back from BlueWalker.
Any experiences or advice with the two brands or PSU's would be greatly appreciated.

I wrote back asking what driver should be used, haven't heard from them since.Hello,
the VI 3000 RLE as well as all line interactive UPSs ( VI models ) and all online UPSs ( VFI models ) are equipped with a usb port for connection with the NUT software.
Best regards
