Fail2Ban works really well. Shifting to a non standard port only stops the scriptkids from having too much automated options and does not do anything for actual security. For this reason I personally never bothered with that. Non standard username and password auth with fail2ban makes brute forcing practically impossible, this is usually how I have things configured.

People should realize though that it is not 'safer' in any way running SSH on another port.
But it is (slightly) more expensive - which counts, or ?
In my limited experience, moving SSH to another port made no apparent difference to the number of random attempts to break in. I'd recommend fail2ban or equivalent instead.
