Specs
Top
Pro
Good for lower risk situations
The chains on this lock are 9mm in diameter, which makes it good for only quick stops in busy urban areas. Chains under 13mm can still be cut with bolt cutters, which isn't good enough for higher-risk settings.

Con
The lock might freeze
Be careful about using this lock in winter conditions. There are some users who report the key-hole freezing shut.

Pro
Easy to wrap around objects
This Kryptonite chain has the flexibility of a cable lock. Even at the mini size, it will still be able to wrap around more objects than any u-lock.

Con
Heavier than u-locks
At 9mm diameter and 21.5" length this is not nearly the heaviest chain around, but it's noticeably heavier than most u-locks.

For low-risk situations
This u-lock can work well in low-risk situations, or as a secondary lock to secure your wheels or seat.

Con
Can be cut with the biggest bolt cutters
Do not expect this lock to protect your bike in high risk situations (leaving your bike where there's a crowd, especially if your bike attracts thieves attention). The tubes 13mm diameter is not invincible against bolt cutters.

Pro
Keeps wheels safe
There is an included cable with the U Lock, that allows you to secure the other bike wheel (not locked with the U Lock itself), or the seat. This is great for city riders who have quick release wheels, as an unlocked wheel makes for easy theft.

Pro
Relatively easy to transport
There is an included mount for the U Lock, which allows for one to easily transport the lock with the bike with no further equipment needed.

Kryptonite New York Noose

Pro
A great chain lock for high-level security
The New York Noose has a Sold Secure rating of Gold. The chain links are 12mm thick, and are six sided instead of round, which makes them impossible to cut with manual bolt cutters. Given that any thieves would need to use power tools to break this chain, it will buy you plenty of time to save your bike, and it will also deter most thieves from stealing your bike.

Con
Heavier than similar security-level locks
At 6.7 lbs it's not the easiest to carry with you on a daily basis.
See More
Top
Pro
Less weight for the same length
The New York Noose gets its name from the cinch loop- you can wrap the chain around your object of choice like a noose. This allows for nearly the same usable length as a standard chain lock, but without the actual extra chain links, which means less bulk for you to carry.

A great u-lock for high-risk circumstances
This Albus u-lock is a great option if you have an expensive bike, and if you need to leave it in more dangerous areas of the city. The 'u' part o the lock is a parabolic shape instead of round, which makes cutting it with bolt cutters, car jack or saws too time-consuming to be possible. Every part of this lock is made from temper hardened steel. Any thieves would need power tools to break this lock.

Con
More difficult to transport than chain locks
U-locks don't generally transport well outside of backpacks or specialized u-lock holders that mount to the frame of your bike. It's a choice between having less space and more weight in your backpack or cluttering up your bike frame with an extra accesory.

Con
Difficult to wrap around some objects
As with any u-lock, the shape does not bend and it could be difficult to find a place to lock your bike to.

Pro
Relatively lightweight
This lock weighs around 4 lbs, which is not the heaviest nor the lightest lock. Considering the security level, it's definitely one of the more lightweight options when compared to locks with a similar security rating.

Best for stationary security
The New York Legend 1515 chain is very heavy (15+lb). It's so heavy that it would be impractical to take it with you on a daily basis, but it's great to be used as a stationary lock at, for example, home or work.

Con
Expensive
This is one of the most expensive locks, but it does seem to be worth the investment.

Pro
Great for very high risk circumstances
With a chain thickness of 15mm it's impossible to damage this lock with manual bolt cutters. If the thief is really determined, they'd have to use power tools, and it's hard not to notice someone sawing away, sparks flying at a bike chain. At the very least, this lock will buy you plenty of time, or attract lots of attention to the thief brave enough to attempt to break it.
