2. Glove box. By far.
3. Powder coated. Had mine for a year in and out of the cars. If i wipe them down they still look new.
4. Great, I'd buy more. The lock is smooth, the cover closes tightly. I had 4 at one time and a buddy bought two of them from me.

I have had them for several years. I keep one in each vehicle and have given one to each of my CHL daughters.
Frankly, it would probably be easier/quicker to destroy the steering wheel lock/ignition system and steal the vehicle than than steal the box with tools most auto burglary subjects carry with them.
One additional benefit of these boxes is the fact that when traveling and staying in a motel/hotel, they can be used effectively to secure valuables in the room when you are not there...assuming you have your pistola on you. Just loop the cable around the bed frame. Usually closet rods, plumbing fixtures, etc. are usually not substantial enough for security purposes. Even the bed frame is not ideal but it would take a lot of time and effort to dismantle it, especially if you have a small padlock (even TSA type) to secure it to the frame. They usually have holes punched in them.
One additional note, they did not offer the option when I got mine, but I would go with the version with the hinge on the long side for an extra couple of bucks.
Note that if you get more than one at a time you can have them all keyed alike, which it helpful. Also, even though I shoot a Glock 30, a subcompact, I would get the larger box to allow room for one more magazine or other valuable, especially while traveling.
Fit and finish are very good. I have had my first two for more than six years.
