If you choose to use a Kryptonite U-lock, be sure to read the maintenance info. IIRC, Kryptonite recommends using a chain lube containing silicon, Teflon or graphite to prevent corrosion and/or rust. I've read complaints from commuters whose locks failed in a month because their bikes were locked up outside in wet weather.
>From the Kryptonite FAQ manual from the FAQ page: 1. CARE & MAINTENANCE Lubricate the lock several times a year to keep the lock in its best working condition. Always use a lubricant that has only a silicone, graphite orTeflon base. Face the lock cylinder upright and spray or pour the lubricant into the cylinder. Let it sit for 5 minutes. Place a rag on the workstation and turn the lock over onto the rag for a few minutes. Note: Do not use WD-40! WD-40 is a solvent, not a lubricant and will remove lubricant in the cylinder. I use 2 - Abus 540 U-locks around town, or Tigr Mini+'s if I'm a few feet away getting a sandwich or coffee, but after seeing that video of 24" bolt cutters making short work of a Tigr Mini, I doubt I'll use them again.
