Pete,

I would definitely install a whole-house SPD solution at the service 
entrance.  Then, only consider single-mode SPD devices (e.g., SurgeX) on 
branch circuits.

Right now, I'm only using a whole-house protector.  All 3-mode MOV devices 
previously used on my branch circuits were hauled away with the trash.  I'll 
add single-mode SPD devices as time (and my budget) permits.

Paul, W9AC
