I've found that most homes have Kwikset or Schlage deadbolts. Both are very easy to pick. I'd check your home locks and put in good quality deadbolts. While you're at it, take a look at the screws that are mounting your deadbolts in place, along with the plate. Most are cheap, 3/4" inch screws that make ramming in or kicking in quite easy. Same goes for the hinges. Replace those with good long screws.

Master Locks for me have been some of the easiest padlocks to pick. Usually a couple good rakes and it pops open. The toughest I've seen (at least for me) are the round Uhaul locks for storage lockers and trailers. I've never been successful picking one.
