I've learned that most power strip surge protectors don't do much - first hand. I live in a small town with a crappy electricity provider that has constant surges in power. I originally went with a "Line Conditioner" - exactly this one:

I used it for my pins and it was fantastic. Then I learned that you could install an entire home line conditioner at your electrical panel of your house and protect EVERYTHING. I've never looked back.
I know my issue is an aberration from most experiences. But I'll always recommend a voltage regulator/line conditioner. Pins are too expensive.
