You want to be as close as possible to ground and that is your panel... the surges at locations are nice but not needed if you have the whole house electrical system going to ground on a strike.

By the way. voltage comditioners like monster, most aren't regulators..... A regulator takes whatever voltage available and makes sure it is 120v constant to your gear, a transformer basically
