The top criteria IMO is how many outlets you need! The surge
protector I bought last autumn has eight outlets (two are widely spaced
for those plugs that have adapters like an external modem's or speakers).
All of them are in use.
My SP is the Computer PowerCenter PC700 made by Monster Cable Inc.,
which I got for $30 at MIT. Has all the fancy stuff like the "Protection
On" and "Ground On" lights, the phone line protection, even each outlet
is colorfully labelled for specific hardware. I'm pretty happy with it
despite its rather "unknown" name.
You may feel different about brand names. If you need a top name that
is reliable, I would say go for it.

IMHO don't buy any SP that has NO phone line protection included. To
this day I blame my last modem's death because my phone line was
unprotected.
