I have a combination U lock that I leave at work all the time. Like you, I didn't want to worry about loosing a key, or even carrying one. And like you my wife's bike, my cable lock and my canoe lock all have the same combo, so life is simplified. I can't think of any reason they would be less secure than a key lock, but you do have to remember to flip the tumblers after locking the bike. I bought mine from a LBS, so I'm sure they can order them.
