On Guard is another brand. To compete with the Kryptonite juggernaut, they use a little bit better technology. However, there are also many reports of keys breaking and/or jamming.

ABUS is another great brand, though they're mostly European.

No matter the brand, the smaller the U, the more secure the lock. Even the small U's work fine when locking to a bike rack. However, they might not work when trying to lock to non-traditional objects.
Thanks for the recommendations. I need o get something good. I am planning on commuting to work after the winter and not sure If they are going to let me take the bike inside the building. I also will bike ride to the gym.
