New timing chain, 64 or 48 link

I am looking for a new timing chain. I have two choises. 48 and 64 link double rollers. What will be the best/strongest longest lasting?

You'll need to buy the gears to match. They make two different 'sizes' because there were two different gear sets from the factory.

Ok, I want to get the 64 link because it looks alot beefier. What sprockets do I need then, all the ones on rockauto looks the same.

Unless you're building some kind of super horsepowered engine the factory replacement will last you many years and hundreds of thousands of miles. No real reason to spend extra cash on this item, IMO.
