I don't know where the cheapest price is.
...would a 3ft chain be enough to get around the front tire, frame and a light post for example, or should the 5ft chain be the way to go?
I have the five-footer, but in my town bike racks are few and far between. The 3-footer wouldn't have a lot of slack left after going around a telephone pole.
The downside is that the 5-footer is pretty heavy. I usually wear it like a bandolier for short in-town riding but it does not lay lightly on the shoulder.

Also what you can do to decrease your chances of theft is
use two different locks--such as a chain+padlock, and also get a good U-lock and use that too. Lock the bike with the U-lock first, and then use the chain however you have to, to lock the bike
again, and then your bike is twice as hard to steal as everyone else's.
