Belts are used because they're lighter and quieter. They require replacement every 50,000 to 60,000 miles on average and a lot of work to do as well as a lot of damage to an engine if they do break. Chains can last the life of the engine, can get noisier with age as they develop slack. Personally I've done the belt replacement several times over the years on my vehicles and I hate doing them, I'd take a chain any day if I could choose.

I hear chain because they are less prone to break as belts break more often...but heck I'm not sure....
