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.
