The most important thing with any car alarm or immobiliser is the quality of the installation. Even the best systems offer little protection if they are not installed to a high standard. Having said this the actual alarm or immobiliser you select can make a big difference.
Bulky Immobiliser modules are harder to hide than small ones, and attack proof security cases are harder to bypass then those that can be flipped open quickly.
Battery back-up sirens with an over-ride key need to be accessible, so are easier to disable then a siren that can be hidden or placed in a hard to access location.
Many security systems place big limitations on how good the installation can potentially be, so with this in mind the system you chose is just as important as the installer. After all what’s the point in having one if it’s not effective?
