MX 3-Outlet Universal Spike Protector with Autodetect Wire Connector, Fuse and Single Switch, EMI/RFI Noise Filter, 3 Pin Cord 5 Meter (MX-1158A)

This strip combines three things a bench full of sensitive electronics actually needs: spike protection against voltage transients, an EMI/RFI filter that cleans up the electrical noise a nearby motor or switching supply can inject onto the mains line, and a fused switch that cuts power safely on a fault instead of just tripping a breaker two rooms away. The autodetect wire connector adapts to the supply wiring automatically rather than requiring manual configuration. At 5 metres, the cord is long enough to let this sit at the far end of a room from the wall outlet, which matters when the equipment it's protecting - audio gear, test instruments, a sensitive microcontroller rig - needs to be positioned somewhere other than right next to a plug socket. Three outlets keep it focused on protecting a cluster of related equipment rather than trying to be a general-purpose strip.
