Thoughts on the 'need' factor of a main line surge protector

What are your thoughts on a surge protector I have a 50amp hookup & the parts department highly recommended one. Not sure if because the just wanted to sell me something or if there are alot of issues...

My question is how many joules are needed?

I suspect if lightning strikes near enough to put an impulse on the line, your surge is toast with the rest of your gear.

However, crossed wiring is a problem I have run into.
