Well many years ago while working in New Orleans an electrician recommended these:

I put in an LA302 almost 25 years ago.  Did it work, I can't tell as I have 
never lost any equipment or any gear except an old Telephone modem.  But by the 
damage I'm sure to surge was on the phone line not power line. That was based on 
where the shorted protection diodes were.Would I have lost anything else had the 
LA302 not been there is unknown.  Neighbor lost the control board on a dishwasher.

The electrician said that they put these in on the oil rigs in the gulf and they 
get hit all the time.

Pick one and "feel" protected.
