I think the definitive lock in this arena is the Krytonite Evolution 4 Mini. The price point at approximately £30.50 seems to be very reasonable and realistic. The Abus 401 Mini does not seem to me to be a tougher lock at all, just more expensive, and not warranting it at all. The OnGuard Bulldog Mini deserves some respect, as its pull strength is apparently 10 tons, whereas the Masterlock Fortnum Gold has only a measly 2 ton pull strength.
IMO, the Kryptonite takes the crown in this category, with the OnGuard running it extremely close, and actually possibly winning, if the price point is the more important factor.
EDIT:
*Scott has corrected me on the benefits of the Abus U-Mini 401 Yellow. It IS a very superior lock, and I'm glad to say it. Though I can't explain why its superior to the Red version, it clearly must be, as shown by its security/insurance rating, and its price. Buy with confidence. *
