Why not an RF choke for static drain/noise purposes across a spark gap for
direct hit purposes ?

At first that's what I thought, but OP was looking for lightning
protection.
And, if you wanted to operate top band, for instance, a choke that has
high Z at 2MHz is also going to have high Z for lightning (which has a lot
of its power around 1 MHz). Even for 80m, it would be tricky..
