Power strips- too many choices


Out of necessity I need to use a power distributer/ strip.  I am impressed with how many options there are and how varied the reviews of the strips are; even some discussing degradation of the sound.   It seems surge protection would be valuable but cant figure out the other features.  Trying to decide between, Isotek vs Gigawatt vs PS audio.
Don't want to spend too much as there are other cabling needs pending. Further complicating the purchase; I have 7 cords and  at least per the Isotek website it seems that its best to use only one outlet lest resulting in "noise" from the outlier.  ( but isn't the idea of the strip to clean up that "noise") Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Pops....mine arrived yesterday ...same configuration......will give it a week before I can truly decide but already some sounds seem to be popping out of the background to surprise me!
Most power strips are just extra outlets.  But if what you really want is a proper surge protector, get this one from Belkin.    Cost you all of $35 and will do a BETTER job of surge protection than a UPS system or even a typical power conditioner.
