I get my advice from LockPickingLawyer on YouTube. He'll demonstrate the weaknesses of various locks, and say which to avoid and which are probably okay ("okay" is a really strong recommendation from him). He'll still break into really secure locks in <2 min, but he'll describe the skills necessary to break in and let you decide on what your threat level.
Basically, as long as it's bump and bypass resistant, you're good. Burglars aren't going to pick locks, they'll either break a window or move on if the lock stops them. A good lock doesn't keep out a burglar, it just slows them down enough that they'll give up.
So yes, get advice from people who have the skills to break the protection they're recommending, they'll be able to separate things into threat categories. If you want OPSec advice, visit black hat hacking forums and whatnot, you'll get way better advice than sticking with the normie channels.
