I can tell you that most carriers have neither type, at least in the US.
Most towers can survive a brown/blackout lasting a few minutes (usually enough to last the safety system cycling and the fuses blowing on a grounded leg).
Major towers tend to have 8-12h of battery, with sometimes 24h.
Most utility outages are restored in that time with the exception being major storms.
In michigan we can get a credit for lack of restoration in 16 hours:
-- snip -- A customer is eligible for a credit under normal conditions if the utility fails to restore service within 16 hours after an outage resulting from conditions other than catastrophic conditions. -- snip --
this lines up with the planning strategy of the utilities.
