Any you know what going to happen?
You would probably leave the generator on your desk anyways(probably next to the piece of paper you write your password on)
And these devices turn into a huge hassle that doesn't really increase your security that much

but if you would really have to choose one, pick the TAN generators
Have you really understood how TAN generators work? It does not pose any risk at all if your generator gets stolen - they all are identical and encode information only depending on the data on the chip of your credit card, and the individual data encoded and transferred via the flickering fields on your screen. No need to hide the generator, without your credit card it cannot do any harm.
