Personal preference... I like keys... Already have too many combinations and passwords to remember..
Key... on ring.. done.. YMMV

Go with whatever you like the best. You'll be more likely to use it.

I have one of these that I bought at Academy... I put the cable around my seat base, and the vault itself actually fits well under my oversized floor mat. The mat keeps it from rattling around, as it did when I had it under my seat. There's planty of room between my feet and the seat, I've not had any problems with the nano getting in the way while I'm getting in/out or while driving.. YMMV.

Be aware that several folks (including me) have reported a terrible chemical odor coming from the new nano. For me, I washed the foam with dish soap and water, then rinsed with fabric softener and water and the smell went away. No apparent damage caused to the foam from this washing..

If you drive a pickup, there are a bunch of options for a vault that fits in the center console...
