There are fixed and adjustable regulators... And high or standard pressure.
All newer rigs should be fine with the higher pressure variant. Whether you want adjustable - or a built in gauge - is up to you and affects the price.
They don't last forever... I always carry a spare just in case (typical symptom is very low water pressure).

The surge protection products I am seeing look like they more test the line than provide ongoing protection. Am I looking at the wrong types of product? Can someone send me a link for something appropriate, so I understand the product that I need?

Some info already provided below by Hooligan2... Again 2 options - hardwired or plug in.. I use the plug in version of SurgeGard. Regardless of brand they are in 30A or 50A versions - and can be hardwired or portable. Firmly believe this has already saved me much more than the cost by identifying a wiring issue in a campground supply resulting in low voltage under load...

And what's the difference between using 5/8" versus 1/2" hoses?

Water flow and pressure... I would recommend the 5/8 as RVs are typically water pressure/volume challenged... No need to restrict it further...
