Remember,

Surge Suppresors mean nothing if they are not installed properly.
Remember to ground them properly. Also don't tie all your grounds
together, A surge could come in through the phone line, hit the surge
protector which will channel it to ground. The surge will then go
through the ground wire and hit the equipment in the power supply.
