I think you made an excellent choice! Depending on where you have to park you may want to consider locks for the quick release wheels, but other than that you have a bike that should serve you extremely well. Congrats!

What do you suggest for locks for the quick release wheels? Also what are some suggestions on locks/locking practices that will ensure a safe lock-up?

get a u-lock. the better ones are made by kryptonite and on-guard. others probably suffice if you're not in nyc or other bike thievin capitals.

also get cable or locking skewer for front wheel
or you can just lock the front wheel and frame to rack.
