In your opinion, what is the best multi-line telephone lightning/surge protection to use?

We are in a lightning prone area. About every 12 months a lightning storm comes and we take a hit from a remote building on campus that takes out one or more station ports or at times one or more station modules. The modules are fiber connected back to the core unit, so usually it doesn't affect the MICS.

I'm adding two stations this month for a construction trailer that I'm sure will be another lightning rod.
 
I have had extremely good luck with Porta Systems products, but have not needed any for quite some time, so don't know what all they have that is new. "Knock on wood", but I have not had a single failure on equipment protected with their products. (Yet)
