Nylon rode is superior in every way. Lose the chain.


The catenary of the chain rode acts the same as the shock cushioning of
the nylon but in rocky or worse, coral / oyster areas, the chain is
abrasion resistant where the nylon isn't. If you aren't happy relying on
the catenary, then get a snubber.

IMO, Skippy's 7:1 all chain rode is over the top but if he has the room,
harms nothing.
