Moving SSH to a different port might help, but it's not terribly
difficult to detect.  Whether you do that or not, I'd recommend
that you disable password authentication and require public key.
I haven't had an attack attempt since I did that.

And yes, your best bet after a successful attack is to wipe the
box and re-install.
