The axiom "There exists some nonprincipalultrafilter." is discussed in Horst Herrlich, "The Axiom of Choice" as WUF(?) and in Rubin and Rubin "Equivalents of the Axiom of Choice, II." under [206]. The latter is kind of the standard ressource for these kinds of questions.

Here are papers providing proofs:
