If the lock is for a beater bike, however, it would depend on if you are better at remembering a combination or where you put your keys.

Congratulations on the new bike!!!

I agree with Tulip, a strong sturdy U-lock is the best. Cables can get cut easily. It doesn't matter how well you wrap that cable around the bike, it can still get cut and the bike will be gone.
