You can't use one on/through a surge protector so it basically requires the entire outlet depending on the size/shape.
On some smaller ones you can put it on the lower outlet and run a surge protector out of the upper to reclaim space/plugs.
It supposedly puts more strain on your wiring too, so older less insulated wiring may be at risk of overheating and starting a fire.
Depending on the path your wiring takes you can experience some bandwidth degradation but it's not usually a lot. '
It's not having what you want - It's wanting what you've got.
