Default Disc Locks

I have been thinking about my bike's security more and more lately and have decided to get a disc lock in addition to the cable lock I already have. Where I can't decide is which one to get, and would like your input/experience.

Here is what I am looking at:

I don't know if I trust Kryptonite products. And of the reviews I read about the Xena locks (independent ones, not from the Xena website) people complain about the alarm being too sensitive, but other reviews praise the alarm for saving the bike in attempted thefts. Also the Kryptonite locks are fairly affordable, but the Xena ones are pretty pricey, are they worth the $?

And if I could afford it, I would get this Xena to watch over my bike

most thefts people don't roll the bike away... smart people lift it up and put it in a truck. disc locks won't do ****. It'll be more of a hassle then anything and chances are you'll forget and expletive up one of your rotors when you try and ride away

Xena disc lock all the way. Any motion will set off the alarm on the disc lock (such as picking the bike up), and will prevent you from forgetting that it's on before you take off.

i say get them, why not, the more you have on it the better, and you won't expletive anything up if you make it part of your routine before you hop on it! and i think even if you picked it up the tires would move and set off the alarm. I would go with the bottom two just for the alarm factor. but i haven't ever used one before.
