CyberPower PowerPanel for Linux or Network UPS Tools (NUT)?

I have a very basic/simple setup at home. My server is one Intel NUC. I have a pfSense box but I could care less if that crashes/breaks.

I have a CyberPower UPS.

The only thing I want is that when I lose power at home, my Intel NUC should gracefully shutdown.

I'm trying to see if NUT is worth it or should I just stick with CyberPower's PowerPanel software?

Thoughts?

I had an easier time setting up Cyber power's utility than nut. Does all the simple things I want it to do, plus was way easier feeding its data to a grafana dashboard.

i had issues with powerpanel on pfsense (many moons ago) but nut worked fine for me. and i wanted to integrate into other things (nut-client will let you talk to the server and shut down multiple things with only one server connected to the UPS)
