Personal preference is the Cloyes true roller, especially if you choose not to degree. I have found they are consistently in the <2 degrees off over the years. And, I have run them to 100k miles without excessive slop.

I like the link chains, but rarely do they come with multiple keyway sprockets, requiring offset keys. The link setups I've found to be all over the board when you degree, some being way off.

Interestingly enough, I have also noted over the years that manual trans cars tend to stretch the chains at a faster rate than auto cars. Because of this, you may want to use a link setup if you have a manual car.
