Is there any difference between power strips? Should I avoid something cheap if I am connecting all my desktop components to one?

buy a decent brand at an authorized retailer
most come with $100,000 (or around local equivalent) warranties if your equipment is damaged by surge.

a good UPS will protect you from non-surge electric events that may fry your shit.

Yes go for the cheapest possible power strip you can find, and make sure you plug your 1200W PSU into the last socket on the strip.

At the bare minimum get one with a surge protector.

Better yet get a(n) UPS.

The one with 2 holes is optimal, healthy human eye can't even see more than 3 holes.

Lies. US plugs take up so little space compared to your god tier plug, it's ridiculous. Seriously, fuck Singapore and other countries with such massive plug.

Seriously, under what circumstance would you be limited in the amount of space a plug socket can take up?
