My "favorite type of gun safe" would have the following specifications:

1. 1/4" steel body; at least 1/4" steel door
2. Big enough to hold 25 long guns 30 handguns and "other junk".
3. combination lock - NO ELECTRONICS! In the even of a Hurricane - just when I need to access them, there will be no electricity or batteries.
4. Interior lighting and plug for goldenrod
5. Multiple devices to prevent drilling the lock.
6. holes so that it can be lag-bolted to a concrete foundation.
7. watertight seal on the door.

As far as accessing my HD gun goes - I don't keep it locked up. I also don't keep a round chambered because I have a small child. It's a Glock. It's a tool. And, it's ugly. And, I'm not going to cry if someone breaks in and steals it when I'm not home.
