Most "surge protectors" are worthless for virtually all surges, and their "guarantees" are usually swaddled in legalese so they'd never have to pay out. Dansdata.com has lots of stuff about power and surge protectors.
If you want decent surge protection, it's best to get a (fairly decent) UPS or a power conditioner. It's one of those things where you need to spend quite a bit to get any result at all -- the alternative is to physically unplug everything when there's a thunderstorm. Which is still an idea if you have ethernet cables running everywhere, because the only real way to protect those would be with a wireless (or optical) bridge...
