The HTS-2000 is a power filter, there is no active conditioning occurring. I always think of a conditioner running current through a transformer like some of the more expensive models. The PS Audio PP-300 is a generator in itself and has received high praise (but you cannot hook a power amp to it that consumes over a couple hundred watts).
I suppose it depends on how much you're willing to spend. I tried a power cord and was absolutely floored at the performance increase I got. Keep in mind, this stuff is still somewhat subtle, but can
still bring you closer to the music. I have better dynamics and a more open sound, mainly in the upper to upper mid octaves. Bass wasn't affected much.
You might be confused because you asked a very generic question. But I'm not sure what your goals with doing this are? Why do you want a power conditioner? What equipment do you want to hook up to it?
There are active discussion in the Cable forum regarding this along with power cords.
