I have a (budget level) TrippLite Eco Surge 6 remote controlled protector in my office system. While it doesn’t have a very high surge protection rating, it’s been extremely reliable.
In my main system I use an older Belkin PureAV PF60. This unit provides stronger surge protection and offers a lot of flexibility in powering up/down the whole system. It’s been out of production a while, but can still be found on the popular auction site. If mine died tomorrow, I’d go find another one.
