I choose the "infrared" style alarm. It senses movement\presence only INSIDE the car. There are buttons in the doors that also trigger it if the doors are open while "alarmed". It also cut's out the fuel pump and ignition unit while armed (but the engine will crank). Push button "arm\disarm" thing clips on my key ring. Pager notification if the alarm goes off (REAL short distance though, not sure THAT option is practical).

The biggest deterent here in Hawaii (and car thefts ARE high here) is the "visibility" factor of the car. Cobras draw a LOT of attention and this is a SMALL island.
