Phil,

I think the big boys mostly use ones made by Polyphaser, which can be had 
from HRO and other dealers,  and ones made by I.C.E.  which can be had from 
Array Solutions, The  Wireman, or direct.

The ones I use  are made by Alpha Delta and are  called Transi Traps. 
Available from most ham dealers.   It's one of those "You pays your  money 
and takes your choice" things.     They are all rated by power handling, 
frequency coverage,  and can have either type N or PL 259's.  There are also 
different types of mounting options.    Some will pass DC and others won't 
which may be a consideration if you are running a remote coax switch or 
some other device  which needs 12 vdc  sent down the coax.
