I'm going to start with two 220V/2400W Parallel Miner PSUs.
Going to have a PDU going to the 220V line. What Outlet type should I be looking for? L6-30?

Check the specifications on your PDU on the manufacturer website. The APC PDUs I've used are all L6-30R, which are about $20 at Lowes for a 30A 240V L6-30R receptacle.

I hadn't decided which to use yet, so I wanted to be sure I wasn't limiting myself by selecting a certain plug (electrician was asking). Tripp lite also uses L6-30R, so I'll go with that.

L6-30R seems to be really common.
I purchased the receptacles myself and handed them over to the electrician when he came to wire everything up.

Mine ran just shy of $400 for 2 X 220v 30A circuits. This included running the wiring, the new 30A breakers, and replacing some existing breakers with duplex breakers to make room as my panel was full.

He charged me $290 to run a 220V outlet from the existing panel and add a 30amp breaker.

You read my mind! I just started another thread asking people about PDUs. I like the price on the one you showed me for sure. Does it provide any surge protection? There wasn't anything in the description and I didn't find any sites that said it did.

I didn't even know those were a thing.
I'll have to put one of those in if I do anything more than the 4-8 miners I can run off the current breaker. He quoted me what it would cost to put in another 220V distribution line (~$2500) so I'd be able to expand to up to 16 miners, but I decided to go slow and minimize the start-up costs until I have a better handle of what I'm doing.
So the HP PDU doesn't have surge protection? I was looking at Tripp Lite, but they seem relatively expensive for what they're doing.

The highest end pdus don't so for the most part using a whole house protector is the way to go. The pdu is fused. The psu is fused. Are you in a thunderstorm prone state?

In fact, I have two garage door openers. Both got knocked out during thunderstorms. No tripped breaker or anything. Pretty aggravating, to be honest...

L6-30R is probably the most common PDU plug type by a wide margin.
It can often be less expensive to wire up multiple 6-15 or 6-20 outlets to that same 220 line so you don't NEED a PDU though.

yeah he could do 2 l6-20r outlets and buy 2 of these plugs http://www.bestmaterials.com/detail.aspx?ID=14826buy 2 of these power cords https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=24207then cut off one end and put the plug onto it. these would go into the 2400 watt psu. 2 per 30 amp circuit breaker. but it does involve a bit of wiring skill and you really should have a whole hows surge protector with this as you bypassed the pdu.

NEMA 6-15 would be enough for a 2400 watt power supply running at 220. There are several companies that make "NEMA 6 plug to standard C13 or standard C19" type power cords - Americable and Iron Box come immediately to mind.
