If you have customers that ask about protection instead of using power strips, I have found that installing GFCI's have the best protection. Since I have installed GFCI for my entertainment center ( 3-VCR, satalite dish and Teevo and TV) I have not lost a single electronic from power surges. I live in the Blue Ridge mountains and we are constantly hit with power surges. I also installed a GFCI for my computer and that has not lost a modem in 3 years. My neighbor on the other hand has replaced his modem 3 times in one year. Just my 2 cents worth.
