kmh3212,
Everyone will do what they feel comfortable with, but I want to share with all my real experience with "plug-in surge protection". I lost $7000+ worth of electrical appliances and electronic equipment that were all plugged into "plug-in surge protection" when a lightning bolt hit about a 1/2 block from my stick house. This is not a third party scare rumor, it happened to me.
People, who know, will tell you that these small devices are simply not quick enough to handle a large, fast spike. They will handle many of the smaller spikes, but the really high speed spikes will be past them before they can react. You may want to get online and research this matter. By-the-way, I own no stock in any surge protection device manufacturers, but I have been there and gotten zapped.
