I wouldn't use either of them as a primary lock. Ignoring the lock part, the second one (steel chain) is stronger than the cable "protected" by steel shells, which cheap bolt croppers will cut through like it was a string of liquorice. Those protected cables are a joke - bit of twisting with any bolt cutters or strong gripping tool exposes the cable within.

I keep loosing keys so I decided to buy combination lock.
(I know they are not recommended).
Which of these two below is better? cable in shells or chain?
