This is a YMMV thing, but I like to get a Uninterruptible Power Supply and have them for all my Macs. So far nobody has gotten fried or had any troubles with loss of power. I heard that's hard on the motherboards, even when it's a slump in voltage. The UPS makes sure the Mac gets a consistent voltage at all times and when the power fails altogether runs it off the battery for awhile so I can shut it down safely. They're kind of pricey though, so as I said YMMV.
