Are tight-fitting U locks safer?

Hello

I just saw a really tight U lock from Carhartt:



I'm thinking of getting one of those in addition to another mini U lock (either Kryptonite, OnGuard, or Abus). It's strange that the only company making really tight U locks is a clothing company

Am I correct in thinking that tight-fitting U locks are safer because they prevent yanking the frame from the fixed point to which it's attached, or it just makes no difference because thieves use other quiet ways (since grinders are anything but quiet and win against even the best U locks anyway, I don't worry about this).

Thank you.
