I've heard recommendations that if you're going to have two locks, they should be different types, like a U and a chain, or a U and a cable. That's because to break a U-lock, you either need a jack or a leverage attack, where as for a cable or a chain you need a cutter. Either way, in order to steal your bike, the thief needs both tools, which is a lot harder to conceal than just one.
