A friend of mine has the Abus Bordo Granit for his moderately-high-end bike. It looks like a sensible compromise: less rigid than a D-lock, but more secure than a chain.
Admittedly I'm aware that, in security engineering, there's a huge gulf between "looks more secure" and "is more secure". Though I'm then also aware that "looks more secure to a potential bike thief" may be enough to stop your bike straying.
Actually my top priority in bike-lock technology is that I need to have a 'sold secure gold rated' lock in order to keep my insurance company happy. (and that one isn't; although some chains are they are really very heavy chains)... I'm not really convinced that these locks are genuinely better than other locks, but they surely can't be worse?
