With the new chain system on the '07's and newer, and from those I consider to be very reliable sources, I'd stick with the chain drive.

Check crank runout before ordering. If good, than no reason not to go with geardrives. If the run out is out of spec for geardrive go with chains.....JMHO. Or whatever fits your wallet at the 07 up geadrives get pricey.
