Surge-X. Most other products are MOV based (metal-oxide varistor) and the component in them that provides the surge protection is actually a consumable... so one big hit or a series of small ones will fry the protection, but the product still passes power. That's no good IMHO.
While Surge-X products are expensive, they claim 100% effectiveness, and their technology doesn't rely on consumable components.
