I don’t know if anyone can realistically recommend a specific surge protector. The best you can hope for is a negative review to know who to eliminate. I have a Pike-installed system ($300 in 2015) with individual protectors on all the expensive stuff and also on the co-ax coming in for cable.
It’s like insurance. You don’t really know if it’s any good until you need it. I’ve not been hit, so I can’t say it’s good. If I had been hit and my stuff was still damaged, then I could give you a negative review.
One thing to keep in mind (besides price) is the joule capacity, which is how much energy it can absorb. The bigger the better.
Another thing to remember is that protectors are good for one hit, as the sacrifice themselves. Pike said a replacement would cost the same as a new installation.
