I like 2 D Locks, or one strong one. One for the rear wheel inside the rear triangle Sheldon Brown-style. One for the down tube (+front wheel if possible).
Fill the space in the lock. Try to leave less than 1 inch of room. That way, they won't be able to get a jack in there.
Try and lock your bike high up. Lift the back wheel up high on the railing. If you have a chain, this is especially important. Don't leave any part of your chain/cable under knee height. This way, they are much harder to bolt crop.
Try and lock it where you can visible see it, or under a CCTV camera.
D-Locks I rate ..the heavier the better, really. Mini-D's are good because the space is easier to fill. Not a fan of chain/cables, they are easier to cut, and silently too.
