Power conditioner or Hammond choke? Opinions...

In a post below, I mentioned a few minor mods I did to a Powervar line conditioner. Another member (Chris), responded that he'd tried the same and got better system results using Hammond chokes.

I got the Powervar for use with my CDP to isolate it's digital nasties from the rest of the system. Can a filter choke do the same thing? From what I've read, I gathered that chokes were great for filtering out line noise while conditioners like the Powervar, etc, worked well for keeping noise created by digital components away from the rest of the system components.

Would it be best to use a combination of the two?
