Any recommendations for brands?

I'm looking to spend ~250.00US for a device which can provide line
conditioning and surge protection.

Thanks.

Go to Home Depot or Lowe's and pick up a $20 (or even less,
provided both lines are covered) surge protector. Line
conditioning is a joke. If power was screwed up as some of
the tweako freakos claim, no appliances would work properly.
