I've seen quite a few fg/ss bikes outside uni at Elephant, and I keep seeing the same ones....so obviously their locking is adequate. Maybe cycle down there, have a look, and compare your method to what is being used.
A good trick (sorry) is to be early, and lock you bike to the railings directly. Other students arrive and layer their bikes, so that those closest to the railings are harder to get to. I only suggest this if you're very nervous about your locks.
Your first combo of locks is very superior, but the weight would be extremely heavy. I suggest thinking about a chain that is left insitu overnight. Just carry one u-lock with you daily. Or, carry a very superior and wide u-lock, with quick release front wheel, that you can attach to the rear. Superglue a ball bearing into the seatpost and saddle fixings.
