The easiest to install are those surges on Plug-on neutral panels. Take off the dead-front, remove the knock-outs, install, done. The problem is they have such a low surge capacity. I did a deep dive on it a while ago, and you can stack multiples of those without issue. I'm not sure two 22.5s = 45ka as electric is strange that way, but still, for ease of use, popping two of them in there is the easiest bang for the buck going.

As you say, there are several other Type-2 surge protectors on the market but I would stay away from most of them since I've seen some explode and or catch on fire in some cases when a very large induced surge occurred and exceeded their capacity but never with the Eaton or the PSP protectors.
