Getting back to Linux, which is better for monitoring APC UPS? apcupsd or nut?

Based on what I've read, the latter is better if you need to monitor over the network - not so much of an issue, I suppose, if the UPS itself is on your LAN. Both Apcupsd and Nut support APC hardware. I don't know whether Nut can write to the configuration settings in the UPS, which apcupsd can do via a separate utility.
