Surge protector
I know the best kind are the ones which would be wired into the system, but saw this today and wondered if it would be any good. Is this a "better than nothing" or "you get what you pay for" situation...

And how do you "know" this? That portable surge protector you've illustrated is just that - a surge protector - and has no hard wire equivalent. Both TRC and Progressive do offer EMS units in both portable and hard wire versions but they're electrically equivalent, 'though delay for the Progressive hard wire models is user adjustable whereas delay for the portable versions is not. The only significant differences between portable and hard wire are the obvious - easier use with the portable but greater concern over potential theft. Regardless, whether your preference is portable or hard wire, you'll be far better served with a fully featured EMS unit such as a Progressive EMS-PT30X or the previous EMS-PT30C which are still in stock at many dealers.
