I was in Homebase one day and asked a member of staff if they could tell me if "x" plug could protect my computer from a surge, he confirmed it but was interrupted by another customer who pointed out that he was wrong, offering another product instead.
Apparently he was an electrician by trade. So I went with his recommendation and do not trust the staff any longer, in any of the DIY stores.
But not being an electrician myself I am not sure which one to buy again? This time I need a longer version with more sockets; I need it for my main computer (iMac), an external HDD, some wireless headphones, a Laptop and a fish tank water filter.
Will this work?:

I have one already, but it's too short. The only problem is that I have something similar to this which I cannot tell if it was the recommendation or the other one:

It's a very weird plug in that the other two sockets keep turning off, but I used both just in case, would that actually confuse the system, should I just stick to one?
Thanks!
