Bought Belkin 4 pin for 495/-. Plugs fit in good, from thinnest speaker plugs to the fattest Monitor plugs, all fit in well. Feels well built too.

Here's a long story cut short:

Shop 1: I ask, he replies - belkin 4 pin for Rs. 475+tax. I leave
Shop 2: I ask, he replies - belkin 4 pin for Rs. 450+tax. I think, then I leave
Shop 3: I ask, he replies - belkin 4 pin for Rs. 425+tax. I ask for it but is out of stock. Asks me to come after 2 days

After 2 days:

Shop 3: I ask, he replies - belkin 4 pin for Rs. 425+tax, but is out of stock
Shop 2: I ask, he replies - belkin 4 pin for Rs. 450+tax. I ask for it, but is out of stock
Shop 1: I ask, he replies - belkin 4 pin for Rs. 475+tax. Finally I buy it for Rs. 495

I figured either its 500 bucks or its not for me. So bought it.

Can you please tell which is good ? Both looks good :)

I am fine with 4 pin one.

i have only used the 1st one so can vouch for that...but i am not sure of the second one..you should ask sam.shab here....he can tell you better...BTW, if individual switches is not a necessity, you may go for belkin..after all it has a reputation..

individual switches are must.

NO use powering on Home theater when watching normal TV.. So Its required.

@sam.shab, give your inputs pls

I am using a spike guard from some company named "WOW", IMO it is very good doesnt gets heated up much. It has separate fuse and on/off switch for each pin and has 5 pin, spent 350 bucks for it. Amps value for each fuse is 10A and plastic quality is good.

Belkin or APC or Cona(very popular electricals company) cost more but no individual fuse and switch, as praks said they are a must, you cannot go without them if you really want good spike guard.

@praks first one is better check the amps rating for the fuse used in second it is 6A which is low.
