Does anything say how big the links are on the master lock? I couldn't find it.
Me personally I'd get the onguard if those were you choices, based solely on nothing more than reputation as a bike lock company.
I realise this is a chain in question, but I've seen some master lock u-locks in person and they were not impressive.

If you're willing to spend the $55 on the Onguard chain, you might as well get a NY chain from Kryptonite (get one with the mini-U lock). This should get you started.

Gotcha, that changes things a bit. In that case, I'd probably prefer the OnGuard one. Their website gives it a 4-star rating out of 5...

For what it's worth, every bike lock study I've seen shows Master Locks as being little better than no lock at all, even the thick chains.

Neither of those locks are great, and I personally will never buy another OnGuard product due to three of their U-locks freezing up on me and my wife and one freezing up on a friend, but out of the two the OnGuard is better. Master Lock makes complete rubbish.
If I were you I'd get something else with my gift card and buy a proper lock from Kryptonite.
