FIM vs. PSA powerport vs. Anything else?


I seek the collective knowledge of all A'gon minds for the best ideas, plans, and products to install a dedicated line for my A/V system. I have read much here regarding the outlet debate, but still can't conclude. What's more interesting for me is fault/surge protection. I now have tandem Tice Solo's for AC pure and protect. I'm aware and concerned about the current limiting, etc. debate. Does one even need AC conditioners after installing dedicated lines with top quality materials?
I'd prefer protection at the panel box, but need help with the what, why, and hows. I'm also aware that 10 awg is preferable, but other than JPS Labs Power AC In-wall cable, I have not found suitable wire. Are there any compatibility issues to consider such as JPS cable and FIM outlets not getting along well?
I believe if you're going to do this it ought to be done right A to Z. Are there audio-grade CB's? I don't want to go broke doing this, but will expect maximum performance if making the effort.
I'd hate to stitch up the incision and then wonder if I forgot something? Thanks everyone for the input! Dave

if you're using stranded copper wire for mains make sure it is the high purity type.
i have some monster installed in the walls for speaker cable and it is turning green, which cannot be good for the signal. less important perhaps for power signal, but still a consideration.
