I was told by Hughes when I purchased my Autoformer to plug the Surge Protector in after the Autoformer like option #2 above.....
They told me the surge protector was no longer needed since the Hughes has one built in, but would use it if I already had it....
You must understand the term Surge Protector to determine where to plug it in. At true surge protector is just that and nothing more. It will protect from strong surge on the power lines. It will take only one hit and it is done. It makes no difference where you plug it in.

Shore Power, Autoformer. EMS.
Autoformer has built in surge protection only but no EMS protection at all!
surge protector and EMS are two different things.
