We have since purchased some polyphaser surge protectors.
I'll second the polyphaser as a good product. We put it in a POP in the base of a 460 foot tower and the equipment and it survived unscathed for at least 5 direct tower lightning hits that we know of since 1998. There were 13 DS1's that sometimes popped fuses at the demarc during a strike. The Polyphaser stuff protected but the hits were never big enough to cause it to fail in a shorted state after strikes. They have a web site http://www.polyphaser.com It must still be installed according to proper engineering principles for best protection. They have some great engineering references on their web site.

VERY IMPORTANT. Poorly deployed lightning protection is as effective as condoms left in the cabinet... And YES, fiber is better. Not every Polyphaser can save your butt from ground differential issues.
