You can call either the City or the Mets if your bike is stolen in London and they'll transfer the report to the relevant force. The report won't go astray if you call the wrong force - it'll just be delayed a bit.
Reporting the theft and registering your bike (even after the theft) is a really good idea. Recovered bikes often go unclaimed and their owners can't be traced. I think Immobilise is the one the police go to first.
Re locks - this may be the wrong thread - I always use two different types (eg cable and d-lock) as villains generally only have the equipment to attack one type.
The Fagh looks like one of the best but does it have a sold secure rating? If not insurers may not cover bikes locked using it.
