Which one should you buy?

For most homes the CyberPower 8 Outlet Power Board is the sweet spot - eight protected outlets, two USB ports, a master switch and a limited lifetime guarantee for about $25. If you want a brand that puts a connected-equipment warranty behind your gear, the Belkin 6 Way and Belkin 8-Outlet strips are the safe pick. The HPM Adaptor is for protecting a single valuable device where a full board is overkill, while the Addtam 900J and TESSAN tower add high USB-C output and wide spacing for a busy desk.
