A lot of the bargain price gun safes aren't insulated for fire protection, but they are nearly just as theft proof as the high end ones that are. I prefer a mechanical dial lock myself, as an electronic lock may give you fits trying to open the safe after a fire.

One feature I looked for when I was shopping for a safe is a door with external hinges. That way, when you have to move that big sucker, you can lighten it up by about 1/3rd by lifting the door off first.
