FWIW I am a little paranoid about lightning as well. I used to work in commercial broadcasting and have seen what works and what doesn't when it comes to lightning protection. I have undertaken a big project to replace all my antennas and erect a new tower. The tower went up a year or more ago but constant changes to plans and some personal issue preventing me from climbing for a while have prevented me from getting the antennas up yet. I had hoped to get them up before fall but I decided just today to wait until spring. There will be better weather and my back and leg will be in much better shape by then. It will also allow me to do some more final planning and some changes to the shack as well.I put up a 64 foot freestanding Trylon Titan tower and will have a 17 foot mast out the top making the top 13B2 2m yagi at about 78 feet so it becomes a prime target for lightning. There will also be two more 2m VHF antennas as well as two HF yagis and some wire antennas hanging off it. This is what I did.

Here is the tower with work platform installed at the top and the mast fully retracted down inside the tower.

Tower base with DX Engineering enclosure housing lightning arrestors mounted on an aluminum plate that is connected to the 4 inch wide copper strap going to ground.The tower legs are bonded together at the bottom and each leg goes to it's own ground rod via a short length of 000 gauge copper cable.Terminal lugs were made from 1/2 inch copper pipe so you can gauge the wire size which just fits inside the pipe.

All ground connections are either bolted with stainless steel hardware or "welded" with Silfoss using MAPP gas as propane is not quite hot enough to do a good job. Silfoss is a copper/phosphorous/silver alloy and will resist the heat from lightning. NEVER EVER EVER use regular solder on a lightning ground. It will vaporize in the event of a strike leaving you with no ground connection.Above is the main bonding cable going from the tower to the house.

Each tower leg has one of these installed. Notice the stainless steel piece between the tower leg and the ground cable. Copper will strip the zinc out of a galvanized coating and leave a rusty spot underneath which makes a  very poor connection. I found this out after removing a copper ground  block from my old tower and seeing rust in the same exact size and shape  as the ground block. I followed up this discovery with some reading and  found out that due to galvanic action copper should never be in direct  contact with zinc plated materials such as galvanized towers. The  piece of stainless steel strap between the copper ground cable and the  galvanized tower leg. This eliminates the possibility of galvanic action  and the resulting poor connection.
