Default what is the differences between whole house surge protectors?

Metal dishes and supports must be bonded to the same grounding system as
the power system (if the US-NEC is enforced). The length of the ground
wire is not as important as for cable and phone entry because you don't
have high surge currents (unless you have a direct strike to the dish,
which would require much better protection).
