My collection of mount straps:
I've tried different – simple, reusable, stainless steel ties, wires, even ropes and knots. And came to a conclusion: if a thief has nothing in his hands any tie works good, it's quite difficult to break any of them - and 3-5 are used to attach a device, not just one.
And if a thief has the pliers/wire cutters – he'll cut the spoke easily, even if you have the stainless steel fasteners :)
Finally switched to the basic zip ties, no probs as well - bike lights don't attract attention when not powered, I think. To be honest I don't always put a lock on my bike and definitely too lazy to re-attach the gadgets every time :D
