What are you towing?
And you left out Pelican hooks.
For a rope/chain connection on something like a tow (ie where the
ability to undo it quickly is important) a pelican hook would be best
IMHO. I'm not sure I'd want to use a chain on a tow line, unless it was
something really big, tow duration a couple of days, and chafe could not
be guarded well enough.
