I think even the big belkin ones would be pretty reliable since they are prepared to replace your equipment at their own expense if the surge protector fails to protect it. One of my mates had one that protected his stuff but got fried during a storm and they replaced his broken surge protector free of charge.
I got given a really great surge protector for xmas. It has plenty of space for large transformers. A couple of ports for constant power and the rest can be turned on and off with a remote and ports for TV and phones.
