My impression is strikes are rare, maybe once per year.
I haven't heard of a house with lightning rods being damaged. On the other hand, there are tens of thousands of houses without lightning rods that also have not been damaged. Probably an inexpensive way to hedge your bet.
To be effective a lightning rod system needs to be installed correctly. Make sure to vet the company you buy from.
