Wheel locks: BMW OEM vs McGard?

I'm on the market for a set of wheel locks and wanted to know if there are any advantages/disadvantages to BMW OEM and McGard wheel locks. I've read that BMW ones are almost useless, but don't understand why. Thanks in advance.

On my previous car I had McGards and the pattern in the key broke into bits when I tried to take off my wheels one time. McGard sent me out a new key after submitting the code.

I just bought a set of RAD locks. Front what I read they are about the best you can get. Redline Motorworks has them for a decent price. Just call or PM Andrew.
