Front.

Rear disc is smaller and more awkward to get to.

Either; they're both crap ways to secure your bike.

Proper thieves will lift the bike into a van, kids will stick the locked wheel on a skateboard and wheel it somewhere private to bks it off with hammers.

Use a decent chain and padlock round a lamp-post.
Proper thieves will still get it but it makes it more hassle for them, kids won't bother.

Dont forget to get something to remind you the lock is on the front disc... you can get a big neon orange thing that clips from the lock to the handlebars.

Depends on the bike... My disklock only fits the rear brake on the DRZ but I use it on the front of the R1...

The brake you use really doesn't make a difference to how secure the bike will be... just use whichever is easier and don't forget that you've put it on!
