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...

Regardless of which one you get make sure it is UL listed to guaranty it will do the job.

UL says nothing about an item's performance. UL is only about one thing - human safety. Does not matter how good or inferior it performs. UL's only tests for human safety threats such as fire, electrocution, etc.
Performance guarantees come from numbers such as manufacturer specifications. And by first identifying what it is suppose to do (or avert).

from your research which of the ones mentioned is best. now is the $90 one as good as the $288 one? how about some practical information?
No. The "$90 one" is just a simple surge protector, the "$280 one" is not only a surge protector but also an EMS that detects a multiplicity of line errors AND does something about it when any errors are detected, all of which is detailed on manufacturers' product websites. Different devices, different results = you get what you pay for. :R
