If you have the money battery power it all. If you're worried about the line conditioning, add another, APC output is going to be no worse than utility power for sure.

Here's what I've done though (my computer network is FULL APC, but I'm talking A/V): Panamax Max 1000+ to cover all my equipment and my satellite box and TiVo running off of a fairly small APC UPS that only provides backup power and will pass through whatever the Panamax gives it (unless it's a surge somehow). I would think that you might consider something similar if you want to protect a projector or other specific component.
