Which is better for outdoor use?

Both are built for outdoors. The Brinks uses a stainless steel body, which resists corrosion well. The ABUS uses solid brass, which also holds up outdoors. The Brinks is the cheaper choice for year-round outdoor use.

Which has the stronger shackle?

The Brinks shackle is 5/8 in (about 16 mm) chrome-plated hardened steel. The ABUS shackle is 12 mm hardened special steel. The Brinks shackle is thicker, but both are hardened.

Is the ABUS worth the extra $4.37?

Only if you need the wider 70 mm body and 22 mm horizontal clearance for a shutter or large hasp. If a 60 mm body fits, the Brinks does the same job for less.

Which is harder to pick?

The Brinks lists a 4-pin brass tumbler designed for pick, pry and drill resistance. The ABUS listing does not state its pin count. On paper the Brinks gives more detail on pick resistance.

Both resist weather with brass or stainless bodies. The Brinks stainless body and chrome-plated shackle are the better match for wet, coastal or year-round outdoor exposure.

Which fits a storage unit or shed hasp?

Check the hasp opening. The ABUS needs 22 mm horizontal and 13 mm vertical clearance, so it fits larger hasps. The Brinks 60 mm discus fits standard hasps with a 5/8 in shackle opening.
