I am a tad late to joining this discussion, but I have something that I would like to add.
I have had combo U-Locks and when compared to a Keyed U-Lock of equivalent quality, they are no more, or less secure. The one problem I did encounter was that the tumblers used in the combo device could be broken. This can become a real pain. Because now the only method you have of opening the lock is to break, or cut it yourself. Which may/will draw attention to yourself. Then you have to prove to local law enforcement that this is indeed your bike. "No really Officer, I am trying to steal my own bike". Just make sure the tumblers that the numbers are stamped into are of good quality.
