'best' surge protection?

any thoughts on comparisions between SurgeX, ZeroSurge, or BrickWall? Need to look at 'outlet protection!
We had 'wholehouse' surge protection installed by an electrican when we upgraded from 100A to 200A service. Yet, during a recent storm we lost 2 telephones, a cable modem, a wireless router, a computer, and a home theater in the box unit! We definitely have issues with the power company who won't come out and replace the lines feeding our house (visibly frayed insulation-I've seen the wires sparking as they tangle in the wind!).During the mentioned storm, we lost one leg of the 120VAC. Everything on those circuits were fine (basement circuits with plenty of electronic gear); and yet, the leg we didn't lose had the problems!

I live next to the church office (I am a minister). Last
summer both had a big hit. The office computers and phones were destroyed, BUT nothing at the house even though I saw(!) the surge shutting down my Sony rear projector LCD. It was plugged into an Equitec pc. No damage to anything there! Still, next time I will unplug everything!
