Type 1 device at the meter is the optimum protection.
Due to the high transient energy of a strike, the length of the wire for Type 2 devices installed at the breaker box limits effectiveness, the wires need to be as short as possible.
There are units that plug in like a circuit breaker but have lower protection.
